He has generated over 827,000 subscribers on YouTube<\/a> and 721,000 followers on TikTok<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the astonishing video from August, Tah and a team of tourists anxiously arrive at the jungle in the western half of the Island of New Guinea.<\/p>\n The footage shows tribesmen looking suspiciously at their visitors – with one even aiming an enormous bow and arrow towards their boat<\/p>\n In an attempt to ‘make an offering’ so that their group is welcomed, Tah took out packets of salt to give to the tribesmen<\/p>\n He is accompanied by fellow explorers on the small wooden boat as well as a local guide, Demi, who apparently had knowledge of the tribe.<\/p>\n As the vessel edged closer to the bank, a tribesman points a threatening bow and arrow at the visitors, causing them to immediately panic.<\/p>\n ‘I think they’re pointing bows and arrows at us, bro,’ one tourist said nervously.<\/p>\n ‘Seriously, this is terrifying,’ Tah said, with his arm raised in the air as if to wave ‘hello’ and signify peace. ‘Seriously, they are huge bows,’ he added, clearly frightened.<\/p>\n In an attempt to ‘make an offering’ so that their group was welcomed, Tah took out packets of salt to gift to the tribesmen.<\/p>\n He waved the packets into the air before pouring some salt into his hand.<\/p>\n But when one of the tribe’s leaders – accompanied by a dog – tried some of the salt, he spat it out in dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n ‘Oh God, he doesn’t look like he likes that,’ Tah said. ‘Alright guys, let’s move back maybe.’<\/p>\n The leader, panic-stricken, said: ‘We have to move. We’re not welcome. It’s really dangerous.’<\/p>\n As their boat finally edged away from the bank, the TikToker said: ‘I’m not going to lie, that was absolutely terrifying.’<\/p>\n ‘I’m sorry I took you here,’ Demi said.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Will try again tomorrow. Wish us luck,’ Tah wrote in the caption to the post that has been liked over half a million times.<\/p>\n In the comments to the TikTok, many people have expressed anger towards the influencer for approaching and filming the tribe.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Leave them alone and they are not cannibals!’ one person wrote.<\/p>\n ‘They are not cannibal, they are just people living a peaceful life,’ another added.<\/p>\n ‘But why are you there in the first place?’ a third comment said.<\/p>\n Papua is a province of eastern Indonesia and comprises the western half of the island of New Guinea. Its capital city is Jayapura.<\/p>\n It is not known what exact tribe the group was visiting.<\/p>\n Over the years,\u00a0Tah has made a name for himself as YouTube’s resident daredevil, filming himself take part in a series of controversial stunts.<\/p>\n In 2023 he visited Scotland’s so-called ‘Anthrax Island’ – contaminated with lethal bacteria during World War Two by scientists carrying out germ warfare experiments.<\/p>\n He made another video about his trip to ‘Deadman’s Island’ – the mysterious site off the north Kent coast that is banned to the public.<\/p>\n There, the remains of dozens of boys and men who died from contagious diseases upon ‘floating prisons’ 200 years ago can be found – meaning the desolate island is strewn with human skeletons.<\/p>\n A year before that, he spent over 48 hours underground in a decommissioned Titan II nuclear missile complex in\u00a0Arkansas.<\/p>\n And in April earlier this year, he spent three days on ‘Snake Island’, or Kalampunian Damit Island in\u00a0Borneo – known for its population of venomous snakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n He also recently represented Ireland alongside his girlfriend in Redbull’s ‘Ibiza Royale’, the world’s ‘wildest obstacle race’ involving almost 200 international teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is the moment an Irish TikToker approached a spear-wielding ‘cannibal tribe’ in Papua and offered them salt,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[118,18,117,19,7088,17,5,1150,121],"class_list":{"0":"post-28430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-indonesia","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-tiktok","16":"tag-youtube"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/101620973-15040065-image-a-3_1756363837902.jpg\")
