Several centuries ago, an indigenous group of people known as the Papuans (aka Papa New Guineans) settled on the South Pacific islands of Melanesia. Because of their striking physical similarities to Africans, many people have associated them with the Black race. In contrast, others have argued that the group of people migrated from East Asia and have no association with Sub-Saharan Africa whatsoever. Be that as it may, very little is known about Papuans by the general public in the Western hemisphere. Hence, when an Australian YouTuber named Brodie Moss uploaded a video of himself visiting an indigenous tribe on the Island of Vanuatu, unbeknownst to the outside world, the clip went viral in a matter of days.
After Brodie and his crew docked their ship near the shore of the Island, the YouTuber headed inward towards a rocky plateau on the land, where he was immediately greeted by a group of the Island's natives who appeared to be elated by his presence. The welcoming group of islanders took Brodie by the arms and rushed him through the tropical jungle toward their village as he gazed back at his cameraman repeatedly with a huge grin on his face.
"I don't know whether to laugh or cry, it's insane!" Said Brodie amid a bevy of screams and yells in the background as the friendly tribe marched him forward.
As the video progressed, it became apparent that the tribe was very happy to entertain an outsider as they welcomed him in a multitude of ways.
