The video tells a good story, though I agree with some of the comments that it is likely to have been set up. I travelled up the Highlands Highway in the 80s, fascinated by encountering people who had a stone-age culture until the first meetings with explorers in 1950s. A particularly fearsome man in traditional dress put on a great show of aggression when we met, until he realised the guy next to me was an old Canadian friend; acting is part of the culture.

Working in rural Nigeria as a VSO teacher in the 70s, I met some people who had never seen a white(ish) woman. As in the video, they were curious about my skin and hair. The babies, however, would cry with fear and children ran away.
