Amazing Home of Sticks and Leaves - Baka Pygmy Hut

The Baka live in the forests in Cameroon. Their traditional hut, the mongulu, is a finely crafted design woven from thin saplings and covered in maranta leaves. They move periodically and practice a little forest agriculture.

They seem to be a very happy people. Lots of smiles and talking. If a serious gymnastics program ever started there, they would dominate the world. Pound for pound perhaps the most athletic and strongest people in the world.

Tremendous job done by these people. We spend so much of money to buy houses and decorate it. But still we are not happy. See them they are really so happy.

Almost exactly like the wigwam built by east coast Native Americans! It's so cool to me how such separate cultures seem to find similar architectural solutions.

Unbelievable....Not a tape measure, tools (other than machete), nails, glue etc in sight. Love this.

I am so amazed what nature and earth can provide. Happy teamwork 👍🏽💯🇬🇧who invented brick and technology, created words like mortgage, rent, stress, hassle,

They do simple manipulations of natural materials and the end result works perfectly for their needs. It's lovely to watch!

I watched an almost identical film (though in black and white) when I was at school in 1960; it wasn't recent even then. Fascinating to see the crafts surviving.

Awesome people . I hope the government makes sure they stay safe and keep their home areas.

Genial, muchas gracias por tomarse la paciencia para filmar este trabajo colectivo, felicitaciones. Las comunidades nativas son conocedoras de la naturaleza y de ellas podemos aprender.

I made this leaves house when I was a kid and i play with the other kids and we are so happy. But we made it just for our playground and just for fun. But when i saw this video they absolutely made it for living house. It's just wow me.

[Bummer]

That’s incredible how the women all worked together to make a home in a day!

The art of shelter building is using what's available around you to their best qualities and characteristics.
