Asking Tribal Elders Life's Big Questions 

Amazing video! The interview questions really made me think about how important communities are. Mike I would love to collaborate with you. I have sent you an email. Looking for any opportunities I can get. Thanks, Hayden

Can’t wait

Ahhhh how epic! I’m not allowed to leave Australia right now but as soon as my travel ban is lifted, you are my dream adventure buddy!!

It is truly exciting to see such extraordinary people reach that age of wisdom and experiences, and put the basic essence of nature in absolute reason; to people who ignore it because they are in different environments. How much confidence you have Mike to talk to them. What picturesque houses of that tribe, Africame is quite fascinating. Mike, also I love my country: my Mexico, but is exciting great know other contries Zimbabwe and Canada. But we know the natural state of countries and the pleople (the state base).

I Love this man!🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰

Hes probably not actually 79 lol

Go take a look at chuck Norris

Chuck Norris has had extensive plastic surgery, while this African tribal member has had nothing. He is healthy looking and happy. As a female, I find men with plastic surgery unattractive, as well as women. I think this man is good-looking.

You should meet my stepdad. I wish I could post a video of him. He'll be 92 in July and he's in better shape than everyone. Lol he's 6'6, does yoga, drives, talks shit, and is full of wisdom. I love bringing him beer and asking him questions about the past. These old folks are showing us how to live. We just have to pay attention ❤

What a line.

That line got me too

The things he says and the way he says it strike everyone no mattter who you are or how old. Im 14 rn and it's sad for me but unsurprising the truth he realizes from his unique perspective

We from the north need to pass the winter, hence the big difference between us and southerners. He's just a lucky man, other african tribes were/are warmongers.

no diddy bro.

That's so cool. I'm going to visit one day. I'm in New York City. Their homes in that village look beautiful.

Rent a car from the airport, otherwise your trip will be impossible! It’s very safe but can be expensive - negotiate on lodge rate. There are beautiful lodges all over Zim and great Airbnb’s too!

I'm planning to travel to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 by the end of 2024. I'm so stoked for this adventure already!

He did not mention that in the first 30 seconds.

or communal self reliance rather. Not like isolationist prepper style self reliance. important distinction I think.

@@Ni-dk7ni And people who do it because they like it!

He went against self reliance ? He harped on community. Individuality was a problem to him

@@treycraft6920 it's all perversions now. He speaks of self reliance, but him and the like literally exist because of their maintained communities. Little is what it is presented as anymore.

It is important to adapt to changes. Survival of the fittest not the kindest.

You do know people in Africa sold other Africans as slaves to the white slave traders right? That’s what tribes do to other tribes.

actually for blacks, he has aged a fair bit, he should be looking like that at 90, source- im a white from zimbabwe, i am familiar with how blacks age and how they look as they age.

@@TS-jm7jmAre you saying for an African man he doesn’t look as vibrant and “youthful” compared to most Africans his age?

@@ambersummer2685 yea, maybe a shona i would expect to look that worn, but not an ndebele, or maybe i only just met the ndebele that remained more youthful looking around that age by avoiding the sun, i can't be completely certain there, but i generally trust my gut because i am very good at guessing the ages of blacks from subsaharan africa usually, I just feel he should be older for how worn his skin looks, but again, its sortof in that range where im not as sure of it as i would normally be.

Our African/Southern African guiding principles might have different titles dependent on language we speak but I believe they are one and the same for us all in Africa.. in Southern Africa we use Hunhu/Ubuntu and these terms do not mention ethnicty, tribe or skin colour.. Hunhu/Ubuntu loosely translated means that.. A person is a person through other persons.. I can not be a person all by myself.. I am therefor we are.. Our culture is we not I.. It takes the whole village to raise a child.. Your child is my child and mine is yours and we grow them together for the community.. Our elders are (our parents grandparents ) not just mine.. Your mother's sisters are your mothers too and your father's brothers are your fathers too.. Our relationship with nature in Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa.. In Zim We have two surnames which are part of nature.. The second surname today is not something held sacred as when I was growing up in the 60 and 70s..the First surmame can be an animal, Elephant=zhou=Ndlovu, lion=shumba, Buffalo=nyati, bird, eagle=Hungwe, fish=Hove water pool=Dziva, open veld=Bhebhe, cattle=Nkomo or a part of an animal=leg=gumbo.. The second is a family tree, I mean a real tree and each family has a different tree.. I would challenge my fellow countrymen to find out from their elders what their family tree is...growing up in my family our family was bangare/mubangare.. We could not denigrate or use our family tree for building, firewood or anything.. My grandmother would inspect the firewood and If anyone picked it up my mistake.. We were to take back that wood back where we found it.. Or she she might.. I never thought to ask why as I was young.. My own belief is this was part of our indigenous conservation practices... Other families could use our family tree and we theirs..this kind of makes sense so we don't just plunder the forest.. Our first surname or totem.. We are also not denigrate our totem in any way.. If its an animal or bird.. You can not eat the representive of your totem and who you are nor hunt that animal for sport.. Not to say that was ever part of our tradition.. but others can eat your totem .. It kind of makes sense that if we all eat everything then soon enough there will be nothing left..

We are one after all. All of us are born and then die.

​@@user-bm6jn9ls4nhmmm powerful

That's because it's the truth. But liberal media wants to keep us separated. Liberal media constantly brings up race. Constantly. Because they want the separation. The separation makes them money.

We are all one race, the human race.

I was very surprised by the fact that he is 79. At first I would have thought he was around his late forties!

@@dieseldeletedcomon, its not a fact at all. He could easily lie, or simply not know his age. I'm quite sure he is way more younger

Plot twist: the guy is a new Yorker and is fake his accent, just a bunch of crap

an old Turkish idiom says "Wisdom is a wealth that cannot turn to poverty, and which cannot be prey of theft or fraud"- Yusuf Balasaguni no matter how far back in time it is, no matter where you are on the globe, no matter how strange a custom might seem, if it stems from experience and rationnal thought processes, then it will be Wisdom.

@@Wargulf2838 I agree except we don't live on a globe. That's a government lie. Don't fall for it. 💙

That’s because gold is intrinsically quite worthless

The original poster's comment is from proverbs 16:16 in the bible. Here is the full quote: "How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver."

Makes me think; Wisdom understood is medicine, listen well and heal.

​@@Cosmic_Animalunfortunately yes. Some of my fellow Indians leave me in embarrassment

@@srijanraghavula Stop towing this propaganda. This is a foreign concept, imposed on our ancestors not very long ago. Gita clearly says VARNA is based on Aptitude, profession & personality (गुण कर्म स्वभाव). Manusmriti says, Varna changes if the profession is not followed for 2 generations.

@@Cosmic_Animal That was a abrahmic system who killed Jesus, established church & committed genocides calling them crusades. The other book too, was maligned like that.

This man spoke about swinging babies and you people praise his wisdom. That’s how I know yall are doomed.

I'm sorry to be a biotch, it's just bugging me that you didn't capitalize his name lol but I fully agree with your sentiment. I wish I could meet him.

Get far away from cities if possible folks. Nothing but greed, jealousy, and the devil's doings in the cities. We were not meant to live cramed together in concrete jungles with no nature whatsoever. We are apart of nature and gotten to far removed from it is the problem. Also limit your exsposier of social media etc. it's got it's uses but it's also poisonous for alot of people. I got out of the city 5 years ago and I'm more stress free than ever.

Completely condemned 😂😂😂😂 Especially calling Sekuru a dude and I’m not even Zimbabwean.

Move out to the wilderness

He looks so wiry for his age. You can almost feel the young energy oozing out

We don’t have many men like that in our society. We send them off to old age homes where they are drugged and “taken care of” by people who mostly don’t care. It’s disgusting.

Ask yourself why there is such a disconnect between generations. There you will find the problem. The broken connection is only a symptom, not the source.

Love the npc ❤

People love you so do i @@midloran

Indeed

A kind and wise elder can make a world of difference for a community.

Because the effects of capitalism have done that to your elders, not to mention alienation in a capitalist society affects them even more.. once your that age you are not valuable to the capitalist and that mentality spreads through out society, there is a reason only youth is worshipped In your society..

It's not so strange. Old folks who work the land and eat healthy often have this attitude.

Us watching him are the crazy and strange ones. He is living in accordance with nature, as a true human being. The cities and societies we have created aren't the way we are meant to live, I guarantee you they do not suffer from the vast amounts of mental illnesses that we do.

The world leaders are just kids with a lot of power, waging war to get into other kids playgrounds and toys

Many Africans leave their tribes to be educated and find a career in the cities or another country despite what you see in the media...many young Africans do travel, some return to their villiages to live a traditional life with their savings and/pensions and assist their villages..some do this as it seems with the village leader...he is very wise and intelligent...he seems he was very successful in the concert jungle but he loves nature and his village..he is happy and at home...

Happiness, calmness, content. Like literally each of us wishes for these things, and he represents all of them.

We fulfill our purpose through our children. Well done. I wish you well and pray that the doctors can help you.

Wish I could give you access to my 600ha farm in Southern Africa you drink natural water from a borehole, eat non gmo food, breathe clean air. Nearest town is 30kms away I say that to say this. For two decades I lived in the UK and arthritis ruined my life. But I started noticing every time I went home to see my parents, my health improved. Instead of using my arthritis Cimxia injections every two weeks I could go a month without it. A simpler life helps a lot

I mean that's pretty standard in all the interviews I've watched. You don't look at the camera. There's no reason to look at the camera.

Most of you people don't even know what is the purpose of this man goin to Zimbabwe.to put Africans on camera for white people to see them and HIM TO GET VIEWS TO GET MONEY FROM RU-vid .XPLOITER

Nah, we need more people that think like you, living on your own land one with nature with your own self sufficient farming is a dream.. they're isolated from the crap the world is throwing around

Because in our "civilized" cultures it is very crazy. I've lost friends and family over the brainwashing they cannot free themselves from. I could only take so much pain and hate before I left them behind

​@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane Whats difference between those medicine and drugs. U will get addicted.

@@user-rz1rz4ek8o You are very uninformed/ignorant. Methyl folate is NOT a drug nor a medicine and NOT addictive. It is what the human body makes when it has the necessary processes to breakdown folic acid (also a natural substance the human body needs, and without which babies would be born with neural defects). Some people are unable to breakdown folic acid into methyl folate, which can cause problems with brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin.

And also is an unadulterated concept of masculinity, another important detail.

God works in mysterious ways as they say

I met someone more wise, it's God Try check the way God handle people in Old Testament and the way Jesus answer pharisee in New Testament The wisest man we know only life 100 years, and God eternal, imagine the knowledge he have Also that he create this world and human body system, it need quite a lot of knowledge to do it all Just in last 100 years we discovery things with our technologies, but before that God already know it and make it If you want find wisest man, go ask God He the one that make genius too Yet it hard to talk to God because of our disbelief in Him, and our sins, but whoever repent and truly seek Him will know Him But let say, you need prove, why dont ask God to show you himself to you? In Bible say to test God so test does God is real or not, or he indeed truly knowledgeable like what i claim You can test it, i did it in the past too

@@MizzMM You watched a video and the only thing you took away from it is a man's fysical health and appearance. And I'm the one who doesn't know what I'm talking about ! 😂

After you detox just make sure you eat the foods your body needs so don’t have to detox again…. And move often even when you get older.

The human body replaces nearly all its cells over 4-7 years, except for organs, the heart, and the brain. It's not a simple, short-term detox fix. You have to eat healthy for your whole life to replicate his health at that age. Also, people underestimate how important getting movement and bloodflow moving around the body is for longevity.

@@ccoodd26 Exactly. It’s strange how the first thing people think of when wanting to look and feel healthy is detox. How about detoxing your fridge and pantry…

you are right, partially. just consider that we are not living on a planet, but a plane. yeah, indoctrination goes deep.

We need to leave that man alone and let him enjoy his wonderful natural life , for as long as we don't distroy his living enviroment.

Most people are somewhere more in the middle and more of a mix of constructive and destructive.
