Bambuti Tribe
who are they? they are a small tribe in central and western africa in the democratic republic of Congo. They are forest dwellers, they live by hunting animals and also picking fruits. To them the forest is sacred, they use the forest greatly but they are all scared becuase of the clearing of forests, they are also deprived of their rights in Africa. Collin M. Turnbull felt a certain fascination and drive to explore the tribe. He was working on trips to Afirca and decided to study the tribe, he was fascinated with how this tribe was excluded from society how they were so independant. His observations lead him to get really close to a tribe member, as a "experiment" he took the member out of the forest. The member started to see many things he had never perceived specially buffalos, although being a hunter he had never seen the, so far away. This is a great exampl of perception to the things we see just like the way he saw the buffalos and thought that it was almost witchcraft.
