I think the title of this video is distracting some people from the intended message, which is to humanize and normalize this unique culture. Everyone who has watched by content for a long time knows I am a traditional culture preservationist. The word "primitive" only refers to their technological level and is not intended in a derogatory sense. I will test new titles in a couple of weeks.
Calling them "primitive" is horrible. It's odd that you don't understand that, but I guess we can chalk it up to the classic Negropean self loathing mindset. Words do matter when you are communicating an idea.
I am from Buganda and I admire the Karamajong, our brothers and sisters that have preserved their rich traditional culture better than most of us other Africans. That does not mean they are primitive ! So please make a re-title to the - most Traditional tribe in Uganda.
They are not primitive at all. They have their social organizations, culture, traditional education, and their indigenous religion. They have their marriage system, etc. They resisted colonization and have preserved their identity and have never been slaves to anyone. Respect cultures. They have their own religion
I think you mean respect some of the traditional cultures of the world. There's traditional people in Papua new guinea that a few decades ago were still eating human meat. I'm sure you wouldn't call for respecting their traditions
@@diegoflores9237 it was forced upon them from its beginning, They didn't always eat humans just like the Carib's in Dominica. Oppression and starvation surely makes a wise man mad let alone a people that felt they had no choice in order to survive. Before too long they become a custom to it as the norm and then they praise their God as a ritual in some cultures
GREATEST SHAME IS HOW THE EUROPEAN CULTURE DENIGRATE OTHE CULTURES. THESE CULTURES DO NOT NEED CARS AND MOBILES. THEY ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WAY OF LIFE. THIS IS WHAT THE WESTERN WORLD IS LOOKING FOR - HAPPINESS.
My dowry for my Bugandan wife Engabi clan was 5 cattle, 100lbs of sugar, the bridal basket no egg plant. I'm Scottish American so keeping traditional values won the love of my wife's family. Married to her for 24 years now with 6 children . She is the love of my life
Wow these people are rich and rich in culture. They are living in very nice environment. They treasure livestock, they have food. Generally they have everything
That is why I am annoyed with this man. They think Eu values are the only norm, who said so? It is like the Masai of Kenya, if we are not careful even their government is not doing anything to protect their culture. They are the main tuorist attraction in Kenya but people from Europe have gone in and are quietly changing these people's cultures in exchange for drilling water. They built so called schools which undermind the culture of the people and dressed the kids in Western clothes. Soon you hear they have started to introduce gay marriage among that group. Why can't they mind their own business?
How is it no one has ever said that the Amish are primitive since they do mot use electricity, motor vehicules, stop school at 12th grade and never go to college. This is described as their culture, but for Africans they are deemed Primitive. The narrator betrays his primitive understanding of his own false cultural superiority. Have these tribes not survived into the 21st century without the destructive vices of modernity that cause developed countries to manufacture death for profit.
@@tealsquare Thr root of Primitive is Primus, latin meaning First . Premier = French, Primero = Spanish. The word has been incorrectly used to refer to : Old, backward, stupid, even uncivilized . These are faux pas. Mostly its the media doing it to create a sense of who is superior or inferior, modern or backward. But there would be no modern ìf there was to first ie primitive.
GREATEST SHAME IS HOW THE EUROPEAN CULTURE DENIGRATE OTHER CULTURES ALL OVER THE WORLD. HIGH TIME EUROPE EDICATED ITSELF. REALLY EDUCATE FROM THEIR NARROW MINDED VIEW OF THE WORLD. THESE CULTURES DO NOT NEED CARS AND MOBILES. THEY ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WAY OF LIFE. THIS IS WHAT THE WESTERN WORLD IS LOOKING FOR - HAPPINESS.
WOW this is interesting, i like the simple life, we call it primitive but it is far better than the slums in kampala, The land is fertile, green, they don't need modern life as long as they have food to eat etc. Roads are good, not many potholes like the modern world🤣
, you are extremely creative. And your footages are amazing. You are like the modern day National Geographic. your narratives are consistently clear. I am opening up a business in Uganda growing food, and I truly look forward to meet you. Is your channel monetized.

You are right. There is no culture anywhere in the world that is primitive. I guess this gentleman still reads the books that the British wrote with bias in the 1920s. Judging by the name, Fungo must be a Mugisu. The Bagisu practice circumcision as a tradition, can you claim they are primitive?. It is something that they have done for hundreds of years. What will the student of Sociology or Social Anthropology tell this gentleman what culture means.
They are similar ethinic group as the Masai, these ones are called Koramajong a Nilo-hamitic aka Ateker ethnic group like the Langi, Teso, Kumam and many others are in Uganda, Kenya, Sudan etc.
Am Ugandan but I have never been to this part of Uganda thank u for sharing in Kampala we believe people from the north a the most trustworthy people 🙌🏿am a muganda
These people are beautiful. Please hold on to your traditions for dear life. There is nothing primitive about them. If my people weren't enslaved, only God knows. What a people, what a beautiful people. God bless you all.
The narrator of this video must bear in mind his language is offensive discriminating, why call Karamoja community "Primitive community" that's lack of sensitivity to this comunity
Hello willie. well researched + narrated. YOU HAVE HIT A JACKPOT! this type of content is way more interesting than clean streets of kigali, ignoring human rights , political oppression , interview beautiful women with funny American accent. please do more educational + social anthropology content. WELL DONE
The narrator with a fake accent and a bigoted superiority complex is the only primitive person in this video. These people have preserved their beautiful culture unlike the fake people all over Africa emulating the colonizers.
I was once engaged to a man from the Luo tribe. When I introduced him to my parents, my father asked him if he was expecting a dowry or something like that, and Odhiambo responded, that it is usually 12 cows, but in Greci's case, it is reduced to 9. My father asked what? And Odhiambo tells him, 'She misbehaves." This story is true, by the way. I never married the man, because with time We both realized the differences between us were too great, so marrying would simply not work. But, Odhiambo was a very good person. And for a long time after we broke up, I really missed him. Good people, he was!
@@asherburns2953 for just one thing, threatened him with telling his mom back home that he actually enjoyed baking angel food cake. for a man from his tribe cooking was done by the wife, only. he'd believe me, innocent as he was and would beg me not to do such an emasculating thing to him. i have to admit, however, that I had one hell of a lot of fun! Poor dear Odhiambo Uso!
@@demidas5365 all I know is that in his tribe's estimation, I had become a 9-cow bride. I can't recall who was to pay. it's been years and years ago. somebody else, please do the math. I'm off the barbaric scale. and that's all that I'm thankful for.

Thank you for presenting this culture to the world. I loved seeing the people and how they live. I thank God that they love each other and take care of each other. Seems like peace. Something we don’t have here in America. ❤
Thanks for a very nice video. Wise guide explains the respect in not showering the tribal people with gifts, thereby tempting them with stupid modern needs, but respecting these people by appreciating what they offer. Beautiful people with pride. Respect!!!!!
Damn Never heard of any village communitiee owning AK47s and raiding another village for cows across Southern Africa 😂😱😱 I trvale extensively across Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique and zambia and this is unheard of😁🥺💯
In yrs past many black american families the women were given the hard earned money to keep and manage. for the same my uncles did this as well, but in this day and time here in america it may not be so widely done any longer.
Since the advent of Ytube, I have noticed that many inventions may have been copied from ordinary people around the world, renamed and patented as the work of those who own the patent.@@WillieFungo
It takes a single great mind, one great leader to rise up one day and decide that his people will leave the thatched primitive dwellings to live in proper houses! Muammar Ghedaffi did that for his Libyan people at the begining of his reign! When foreigners (europeans and Chinese) arrive and see vast fertile unoccupied lands, they literally have to fight off the temptation to eliminate the locals to take over! It aches my heart! And this is all over Africa!
This is so so wrong. These people don't want to leave their lifestyle, nor should they be shamed for maintaining their ancient traditions. And this is one isolated ethnic group, not the lifestyle of most of Uganda or Africa.
@@WillieFungo No Willie, it is not wrong! And what they want for themselves is irrelevant! What is good for them and the general society is!! Besides, there is a way their way of life can be improved! As world population grows weak and improperly developed cultures will inevitably be over ran by others! Think of cattle rustling as a culture and according to this very presentation, many get killed when rustling attempts get made!! Think of the advantages the people of Karamoja would enjoy if their culture gets properly developed; good hospitals, good housing, proper security so everyone keeps their animals without thinking of thieves, tourism, schools, proper roads and proper ranching etc. Progress is imposed and enforced. Once the people see its benefits, they become happy it happened!! Think of the women of that culture today, they are no longer walking around flapping their bare breasts because Idi Amin did the right thing getting them to cover up!
These guys used to raid us in Lango for our cattle. Then the Pokot from the other side in Kenya also raids them. Then repeat. Transfer of wealth to Kenya
I spent three nights in a manyata in the middle of the hot season in Gulu, coldest nights of my life, and I've spent time in the coldest places in Uganda; think Kisoro & Buhweju.
This is my very first time to tour Moroto (through this video) although I'm Ugandan from western region. Thank you for uploading the video. Very unique and beautiful culture.
High time the primitive Europe EDUCATED ITSELF to the World. Accept the World as it is. Do not try to change what GOD CREATED. FORGET THE COLONIAL ERA.
Aye bro bro you doing real good work and you have a subscriber in me. Shit you gave me content I didn’t even know I needed. Quick question how can I get in touch with someone so I can help them and get word about these beautiful people. If I have to give you money for consultation so be it but I have a yearning to do something for these people
