Should Aeta (Black & Brown Skinned People From The Philippines) Be Referred To As African? Part II - Videos

Travel and Truth, March 5, 2019

Many groups of Africans migrated out of the continent about 70,000 to 20,000 years ago. A lot of these groups still live in Asia and the Pacific and are indigenous to the region. The most famous group being the Aborigines of Australia. In this video, I took a trip to the Philippines to meet the Aetas tribe. I spent a night in their village and was welcomed with open arms like I was at a family reunion.

Travel and Truth, Sept. 8,  2019

In Part 2 of "African Tribes of the Philippines", I spend the night in the village of the Aetas, one of the many groups of Negritoes that migrated out of Africa about 70,000 to 20,000 years ago. I learn more about the Aeta's culture, their history with the U.S military, and discuss some of the challenges the Aetas face today.
