About the Show

They are traditional hunters and farmers, wearing grass skirts and penis sheaths. They have no electricity or TV, and a very limited idea of the world beyond their tiny island until now.

It's time to MEET THE NATIVES: USA. Insightful, entertaining and unforgettable, the extraordinary journey of 5 men from the remote Pacific island of Tanna across the USA will force us to look at ourselves through brand-new eyes.

Why are we so obsessed with money and possessions? Why do we treat our pets better than some of our fellow citizens? What does "family" mean to us? What do we do with our elderly? How come we make all our important decisions in bars? And what's the point of ironing a shirt?

The Tanna tribe dances their way into America's hearts as they crisscross the country from high society Manhattan to the big sky of Montana. Whether it's mud baths and roller coasters in Orange County, CA, sharing a Thanksgiving feast in America's heartland, or touching snow for the first time, these tribesman spread their wisdom and kindness on their mission to meet the natives of the USA.

Tune in for the premiere of Meet the Natives: USA Sunday, November 29, at 9 E/P.

You might think from the description that the show might be a tad racist or just a way to poke fun at these guys but it really isn't. I watched the premiere last night and was really touched by how sweet and innocent they were. There were some funny moments, but what stood out the most was how their naivete gave them wisdom. It was strange seeing how we live through their eyes. The things that are so important to us have no meaning to them. WATCH IT.
 
I've watched the British version a few times and it was pretty good, too. It was fun seeing how amazed they were at our big buildings and such, but also interesting to hear their questions about why we do certain things that don't seem to make any sense. They all had a really good outgoing attitude and actually seemed to acclimatise pretty quickly.
 
keep them out of the casino's!!!!
 
I hope they show the UK one over here eventually!
 
this actually sounds like it could be interesting.
