New Caledonia: The everyday life of a family | SLICE

- In Kanak culture, Earth is represented as a source of life, and seen as “mother-earth”, or “mother-nature”. The Kanak people consider that they belong to the Earth and pay great respect to their land. The families of the little villages in New Caledonia (Melanesia) live from what the sea has to offer them.
Extract from the documentary: “Connecting traditions - New Caledonia, the roots men”
Direction: Alexandre Mostras
Production: Ma Drogue A Moi & Ushuaïa TV

As an Igbo from Nigeria, Yam is a central part of our culture. We celebrate the New Yam Festival which we call Iriji or Ikeji. I totally understand how important Yam is to her based on my own Culture 😊
@@Jamil_ICT Palm wine😃
@@nyekay615 Interesting to know, here in India, we never had Yam. We have one vegetable called Elephant foot yam, not sure if they are close relative.
What similiar between igbo and kanak?
@@user-cn5fo9pt2q ????
Yeah, Igbo Anthropologists may need to research the similarity in culture
This is exactly how people lived in coastal regions of India until a couple of generations ago.
The life of coastal people throughout the world untouched by industrialization is so simple, yet so meaningful!
I love New Caledonia. Life is very special there. People are civilised and generous. They share what they have.
I'm so glad some of us are still connected to nature and get to live off the land whilst respecting nature.
Another offering from Slice to help heal the collective hearts of humanity during a very dark time...
The relationship btn the grandma and the little ones ❤️
Quite remarkable 👍
I miss this kind of life.ive been living in the city for quite a while now because of work but its getting so boring doing the same stuff everyday.i wanna go back to my province and just do gardening and fishing.i love simplicity
Beautiful carefree life! The kids are beautiful.
Ahh beautiful Melanesian people ❤️❤️
❤
You mean the mixed
You mean Melonj
@@greenfinchgreenfinch3094 they're not mixed. they're purely Kanak🇳🇨 They look exactly like my people in the New Ireland Province of PNG🇵🇬 we're all Melanesians
Just perfect info, I was just on google earth and never heard of New Caledonia until now, this world is amazing
Another great documentary. Their octopus food looks delicious. Simple happy living. Love.
Wow, this is like Sunday morning church, so peaceful, harmonious and healthy.. thank you for a great view!!!
Please keep your culture strong and your indigenous right for your next generation don't give up the flight.
Flight? They can fly? Wow just WoW
That woman really reminds me of my own dear grandmother! I moved abroad and miss her so much!
Beautiful people living the simplicity of life.💕
Love the South Pacific and it’s beautiful people.
South pacipic a paradise thank slice for a wonderful documentary..
I love the grandma and the little children ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you SLICE!!! I am really glad I came across this wonderful channel! Feels like being there, the real little things, wow...
Yup. This is how our grandmothers and mothers have been doing it in the Pacific Islands since the beginning of time. Nothing new. We are one spirit in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.
I think I should like to be a gardening fishing grandma one day taking care of my many grand kids😍❤️💫 This was beautiful
OMG! wonderful! looks like heavens paradise on earth 😍 .....the "grandma" is so strong and lovely, taking care for the childrens go(o)d luck and happy freedom 💕 ..... Thank you SLICE, you made my day 😊🍀💛
Wow another beautiful documentary. Thank you SLICE 🙏
I like how the granny teaches the young ones
Thank you SLICE for this beautiful documentary.
Thank you slice for this amazing documentary..
Old culture already know conservation. These melanesians have survived in these places for thousands of years.
In Africa, the Igbo tribe in Nigeria also respect Yam and do Yam Festival like the Caledonians 😲
Love from 🇵🇬🇵🇬❤👍👌🙏🏾
This is one of my favorite Documentary from "Slice" because I finally can understand the language without having to wait for the Narrator to translate for me. 😁👏🏽❤
Beautiful people. I keep learning something new from your documentaries. Thank you.
My German parents moved there’s in 80s and I was born there. Moved to Australia when I was 2 so never lived there long enough. Haven’t been since I was 12 so now at 36 I want to go back with my 5 year old.
Epic. Loved it
Such a wonderful, little slice of life - so many lessons to be learnt here :)
Simple joy of life… 💚
Hello from Descendants here in Torres Strait Australia🔥🔥
Melanesian life ❤💯🔥🇵🇬
Such a beautiful documentary. Such a beautiful way of life. I was wondering, do you think they would adopt a 72 year old white man from Tennessee? They have such a peaceful way of life.
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣
Hated that crap civilization sir?
Where were you all this years ? 😁Am sure they will welcome you. Melanesian Islanders are hospitable
As a Kanak girl don’t worry, as long as you’re nice and respectuous, we will be cool with you 😄🤙🏾
Been in New Caledonia during my sailing days..its a beautiful French island..the native are so nice.
Beautiful and they said they prayers before they ate awesome 2 👍👍up🏵💐🌺🏵💓💞☺
Awesome.
Beautiful and healthy life, God bless this family
Dear Slice Team,
Your documentaries work so far really unbelievable, personally getting too much inspiration and knowledge in same direction. Slice content is part of my daily routine now please keep posted your amazing work.
Query - How are you guys even able to manage such beautiful interaction with those tribes?
Request - Please make 1 video about all your challenges Slice team had to face to reach those selected destinations etc.. So much in my mind. Plzzzz
That opening caught me like a fly in a spider's web! Really captured my attention.
It makes me want to try to hunt octopus for myself!
(Inb4 i get stung by octopus)
Been playing a new game called Tchia so thanks to them for bringing me here I love learning about new culture much love from Canada
Abundant life❤
“If you don’t have any yams, you’re not a man or woman.” I love that quote. In Tonga 🇹🇴, yams is seen as a delicacy just like how taro is a delicacy in Samoa 🇼🇸. It’s interesting to see how Tonga 🇹🇴 can relate to New Caledonia in that way, where the two countries both value “yams.” Yams is also important in Nigeria 🇳🇬? It’s so interesting to see how there are similarities in “values” in simple things like the food that we eat, such as yams. In Tongan 🇹🇴 we call it ‘ufi. Very interesting 🧐😅
Much Love big up Melanesian culture
🇳🇨
💚🖤
Slice 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I’m into learning new languages in things like that !!😍😍😍 in visiting new places
I love your videos!! Thank you so much. I traveled the world from ages 20-73, so now I am happy to virtual travel from 74 to my present 79. No masks, deadly tests up my nose, or death jabs. God knows about the scamdemic, that are destroying people worldwide, and God is speaking, and people better listen, for Karma never loses an address. Everyone reaps what YOU have sown. Put a d before anger, and you get danger. Do not argue. Hands are for helping and not destroying.
I have given solutions, but hard head makes for a soft behind.
ANOTHER ONE TOURIST TOURISM DESTROYS TRIBES PLANTS AND ANIMALS The Thailand BEFORE Bulk TOURTHSMO WAS PARADISE NOW DONE INDUSTRIAL AREA BRAVO FROM ME WILL TAKE times have changed THINK NOT ONLY YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
If only we could live that simple with such weather.
Lmao I live in the desert. Only way I can get octopus is if I buy it after it's driven here, using money from my job wrapping carboard boxes in plastic so they can be driven far away.
@@thirstiestvillager9233 Only octopuss I can get is squid rings in batter at the supermarket. 😑
@@riverdeep399 you gotta go to the ethnic food markets to get stuff that's whole, or still has a face on it.
Nice video
Beautiful ❤
dude, this is cool
Hey, beautiful video. The pacing, content and cinematography were really perfect for taking us there and showing us other people's experiences. Unfortunately there was some weird othering/exotification here and there and some patronising language (maybe unintentional?). I just want to point it out because it jars in an overall beautiful piece of work. Reminds me of the best of the old Sesame Street vignettes from the 1970s/80s :)
Watched from UAE. I found this island on google earth and then tried to get a dome idea about their culture on youtube.
Yes...the elders here in Jamaica love their yams over every other staple. They say too much rice gives them gas. There is even an annual yam festival in the parish of Trelawny.
Remember.. Our ancestors came with tradition from the mother land..and even though.. We cannot remember all..some things remain.. Check out the Igbo yam festival.. And look for similarities
Love from Egypt ❤
I love New Caledonia and feel empathy for the Kanak people ...
My first time hearing Caledonia wow
Island Melanesia ❤🙏❤
My mother used to cook us an octopus (or octupii how we said the plural anyway). It's lovely. So this must be what I used to call French Polynesia and it sounds like they are mixture of french and original inhabitants given how they look and talk.
French Polynesia is something else, centered around Tahiti,
Neo Cal is Melanesian ;)
wow! that food looks so good. that grandma can cook
When you got the yams (What's the yams?)
The yam is the power that be...
🧿Nice
It's all about the yam. It's that Yamology.
Imagine a world where "my brother has been to Vanuatu" is like saying "my brother has been to the big city."
Vanuatu is another Melanesian country like Fiji 😁
Fiji is polynesian!
I can’t find the complete documentary on UA-cam 😢
We don’t really have a yam culture in NZ anymore but we still grow sweet potato and many indigenous potato varieties and calabash and but not yam or taro, although there are still taro patches in some springs and swamps growing wild from when the ancestors planted them
😘🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾💓💓💓.Beautiful life
I would love to live this more natural approach of living!! ☺
No doubt it can be tough, but there is dignity in it!
They are hospitable people
Wow
This is our island life.
💖💖💖👌
How are we not more respectful to nature? Vegas is terraforming a desert back to prosperous land for example. My city where i live has hundreds of deer and moose that live in it year round...you are more likely to hit a deer in the city then outside....you people really need to educate yourself and go outside for once.
Lavish
We need to revive our indigenous philosophy in this present age.
Long live our Melanesian culture.
Yams are currency, the same as pigs on other Melanesian' Islands. The benefits of living in a tropical' climate are beyond value. I'm native' British and, for me, the UK is the worst Island simply because of the unstable climate. Is compounds misery.
It beats me why anyone would want to come here.
Anywho, getting away from the point. My heart is Melanesian/Papuan. I never knew that Caladonia/new Caladonia are part of Melanesia.
I love these docu's. Thank u ❤
It seems as if the culture of yam is very typical for the micronesian Polynesian and melanesian culture an identity.
Holy shit this is where my crested gecko is from!
Yes but what is the secret of the yams. I must know!
SubhanaAllah
The existance of such peoples is extremly precuius and Importanz for humanitäre, our all collective conciousness 🙏
❤️🤝🏿🇭🇹
How did they end up in the middle of the pacific ocean?
That's what I call "freedom".
They speak French. One day I’ll come there.
This is what the world isn't hold ing on 2 the old ones holding on to the young teaching them
Plz make documentary on pakistan culture . From pAk❤
Well GM is a Top Octopus 🐙 hunter!
Wow. She wasn't playing with.those octopuses
I'm envy of them because they have such a simple life, but at the same time, I'm sad for them, because they don't get to enjoy everything the world has to offer.
Do you enjoy everything the world has to offer?
Very weird statement coming from someone trapped in a concrete prison with almost no access to the natural world of our planet. Besides these people are very aware of the world around them, why do you think they speak french? Some choices are concious decisions, understand? You should expand your way of thinking..
@@urbnctrl Can you live your life like this forever? Or, would you want to to explore other things in life? I dare you to go live like them forever, lets see how long you last.
@@jukio02 exploration is deeply inbedded in the Kanak culture just like all other Pacific Island people. How do you think these people managed to get to all those islands and then trade with Africa and the Americas before the middle ages in Europe even started?
Free
Do indigenous like Solomon islanders. Love the indigenous people of the earth.
Free New Caledonia
🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🤐👌
Paradis caché
"If you don't have any YAMS, you are not a woman" real talk.
