★★★★★ · Crazy how alien they treated the natives! · sdoows · 2023-04-19
Very interesting video, two cultures meeting and seeing bits about each other. Was interesting to see the British people making jokes about the natives customs, but also interesting to see how the tribespeople had curiosities about things like cigarettes and revolvers.
