Native American tribes in the Bella Coola valley used latrines to collect human waste, which froze in winter and didn’t smell as much. They also had outhouses and used various materials for toilet paper, such as moss, rags, snow, and rags. The evolution of the bathroom room in the United States reflects the histories of Native Americans through contemporary design.
In the first part of the nineteenth century, most Americans didn’t bathe due to the lack of indoor plumbing and the belief that submerging oneself in water was good hygiene. Traditional American Indian architecture is vernacular in type, and the design, including the use of stools and animal dung, were influenced by their natural landscape.
Open defecation was a human practice of defecating outside rather than into a toilet, and people could choose fields, bushes, forests, or ditches for this purpose. Early American colonists believed that other practices, like regularly changing their undergarments, qualified as good hygiene.
The Visitor Center has a paved parking lot with designated accessible parking spaces and a push button entrance door. There are accessible restrooms inside and outside the facility. Indigenous architecture in the United States reflects the histories of Native Americans through contemporary design, and many Indigenous nations have adopted modern designs.
In conclusion, Native American tribes in the Bella Coola valley used latrines, outhouses, and various materials for toilet paper, but they did not have designated toilet areas or designated places to go.
📹 Do Indians Really Poop on the Street? 🚽 THE TRUTH! TOILET REVIEW #GroundReport
Are Indians really defecating in the open? I got sick of trolls insulting Indians, so I’m going to show you the reality of public toilets in …

They’ve been pooping openly on Canadian beaches. It’s been happening here 🇨🇦 since 2020, but only now are Canadians addressing their homegrown habits they’ve now imported to Canadian soil. Not all Indians or course, but the vast majority of people doing it are from India (and it’s not racist to point it out).
I wish this guy would be honest. If you have to have a government initiative building toilets it’s because people don’t have them. And when you have such a large area with so many people who claim to not have a toilet at home yet, the public toilet is nearly empty and then it’s pretty obvious that the people are not using toilets at all.
Dude, a lot of us have been to India you know. They do shit in the streets. I got a train from Delhi to Jaipur and the amount of people I saw shitting behind buildings and along the tracks was incalculable. They may leave the main street and go in behind buildings or walls, which unluckily for me, was exactly where the train passed and in full view from my window.
I studied in india for 2 years and ive seen mid aged ladies squating under the flyover and letting it go. Hygiene practices starts at home and basic education is important. Glad to see the gov are taking actions to try and change some of the people’s mentality that is stuck in the past. But highlighting the positives only will not bring change. There’s still a lot of room for improvement. The cleanliness of the toilet should be done by the community and not by the cleaner only.
Thanks for the amazing tour Karl, but the problem is not the availability of toilets in India. The larger problem is the sanitary hygiene of most Indians when it comes to using public facilities. Just because these toilets are maintained by the government or charitable institutions, people don’t maintain the same level of cleanliness while doing their business as they would while using their own private facilities. Such facilities are taken for granted. This is more of an awareness and behavioural problem.
The guy literally shows a public service announcement in the form of a mural telling people to stop crapping outside, and I’m supposed to believe that nobody is doing it in the first place. There would be no need to have the mural if it wasn’t still a problem. I’m aware that many toilets have been built in the last few years but I’m skeptical that everyone has totally switched to using them in such a short time.
0% reporting 100% bias. ‘I think this toilet block isn’t busy because a lot have toilets… No toilelts, oh because you don’t it… oh indian toilets don’t stink, indian shit doesn’t stink. One way or another, I’m going to report thatwe’vee heard it wrong, and it’s way better than you could imagine. It’s amazing!’
What an amazing and informative article dealing with a very unglamorous but necessary subject to all of us. I feel better educated about how India’s sanitation is developing. This helps me to challenge some of my previously held beliefs about India. I am more likely to visit this fascinating country one day as a result of this article as it lowers my concerns. Well done Karl.
Its the first time some foreigner cared about such comments.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that… Such toilet comments are basically talked as an argument winner (talked by even Pakistanis who don’t know the spelling of a toilet).. Even they know its total bull shot… But thank you once again for making such article..
The fact that the government had to build toilets everywhere as part of a very visible and deliberate “clean India campaign” suggests that the reputation for poop in the streets is NOT underserved even if perhaps a bit out of date. It seems like this guy is going a bit hard tryin to dispel the myth.
Thanks for the Toilet Tour. I’m glad the government is working on the access issue. Within my 2nd day in Mumbai, I saw someone defecating in the gutter along a very busy street during the morning commute. That plus the mountains of garbage on the way from the airport doesn’t give a nice view to start with. Then I lived in Pune for a few years and learned the beauty of India
This is interesting. I am South Indian and the only country where I have ever seen people defecating in the streets is the United States. It’s almost like in areas with widespread poverty, homelessness, and not enough bathrooms, people will go to the bathroom in public places. Weird, right?! But anyway, people I know in Gaza are having to dig holes inside tents because is maybe one bathroom for every five or six thousand people. My friend said she would rather go in a hole inside her tent than stand in line for six or more hours for a filthy bathroom. I don’t blame her at all. Clean bathrooms are a human right. If you’ve never heard of China’s “toilet revolution,” you should look it up. The Chinese government ran an initiative to make public bathrooms look pretty and clean, and it’s literally amazing. The cleanest bathroom I have ever been in in my life was an airport bathroom in the Guangzhou airport on my way to India. It was all marble and had perfume mist and gigantic orchids. Contrast that with American airports, where you have to watch where you are going so you don’t slip and fall in poop. That happened to me at JFK. I wasn’t perusal where I was walking and I had to throw away my shoes.
Finally, India is getting with it. As late as 1993, public defication was the norm. It’s not that people couldn’t afford toilets (after all, India could afford a space program), it was just that people thought it was perfectly acceptable. Also, this article is in Dehli. Other cities probably are still not as good.
So Karl I was born in India in Punjab ..village next to Garaya..I was born in 62 and left India in 72..the whole time I was a child we had no toilets in the villages, we went in the fields …what I noticed was when we went to major cities there were some toilets ..I had never seen one before..I went back for a visit in 2010 and all my family had toilets inside the house, house were more modern.. I just discovered your website love your articles…
Your articles are an eye opener mate. I am British with Indian ancestry & have always been fascinated with India, never visited though. I grew up seeing only the glamorous side of India through perusal hundreds of Bollywood films. There are so many misperceptions about India. Thanks for putting out a balanced view out there. Credit should be given when there is a genuine effort to change & improve the situation. Hope to visit one day but for the time being I am perusal your scammers vids to learn how to deal with them. You are doing a Fanta job . Greetings /namaste from Bristol 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I lived in Jaipur for a year .There is a problem with garbage, they put skips in the street but never empty them and they over spill. in the rainy season all the trash flows through the streets. Cows that walk the street are cows which no logger make mild so are discarded to die a horrific death from plastic ingestion, so much for loving cows. Indians also love pigeons and rats which does not help. There is too much obsession with showing off by having massive weddings which they cant afford
I spent about two years of my life traveling in India and I saw people peeing and defecating in the streets, yes. Unfortunatly it is not fantasy, I saw it a few years back many times, always in the early morning, in Delhi and everyware around the railways and railway stations. The toilet cleaners deserve all the respect just because they are humans, and deserve adequate equipments to protect themselves from dirt and health insurances or social security. I’m happy aparently things are changing.
I was in India for the first time before Covid. I apparently didn’t see too much of public defecation. But I do know that about 350M people in India still have no access to bathrooms or toilets. More than the whole population of the US. You did an excellent job of showing us the progress being made. I’m Indian & I speak very little Hindi & you not being Indian are able to communicating in Hindi. Excellent work. Looking forward to more great content
It doesn’t smell if ur used to going there or been there for a while but wen I go there which is really rare trust me it smells. Plus those toilets r only there coz they hv an issue with ppl shitting everywhere. Iv seen it. They don’t make toilets coz it’s easier jus to shit under someone else’s bushes. I’m glad they trying to sort this out tho
Dear Karl. Thank you for dispelling myths about India. India is not a perfect country and there is tons that India needs to improve. As a literary scholar and now a doctor (actual MD, not just PHD) it is so saddening that Indians are still whitewashed to the core about their own identity. The value of human life is zero in India, and it just pains me that years of British servitude has left Indians so broken that they routinely reject and mock their own people but will listen to a white man tell them their own reality. It’s also true that when Indians showcase the real India they are rejected both by foreigners and their own people as showing India in just a positive light while sweeping problems under the rug. You’re doing the good work of showcasing true India to others without having an air of white man savior complex surrounding you. Truly I am humbled that someone is so kind and honest to show the real India without having an agenda. Keep doing the good work ❤
As an Indian who lived in Mumbai for 15 years, I can say that he showed the dark truth of Mumbai unlike the other tourists who show the brightest and richest locality. This is the life of million of citizens in Mumbai and no government bothers about them. They stay and remain in poverty, trash and poop filled streets and earn on daily wage basis. Cheers brother to show the reality of Mumbai (richest city of India)
One thing I never understood about India, India is one country yet it has more poor people than the entire continent of Africa. India has almost the same GDP as Africa but most of that wealth in India is in individual hands, that said, some Indians still think it is on the same level as China when China is 100 times developed and very much ahead of India and has a GDP of over $14Trillion USD while India is under $3 trillion USD.
Seriously i said it before, it takes a lot of courage to be honest. If peope were more honest with themselves they will do something about their sh*t. I’m from Nepal and people don’t realise how unhygienic and inconsiderate they are. People call us dirty and smelly abroad. Our complacent and ignorant mentality are the reasons our country doesn’t even meet the criteria of being called a developing nation. Yes lot of people are less fortunate but it doesn’t cost you anything to be considered and kind. Does it make you a good person just because you are a doctor and save lives everyday. And then the same doctor pisses in front of someone elses homes. That same doctor doesnt feel the need to queue up or follow traffic rules. It takes intrigrity and character which a lot of Nepalese lack.
I’m so glad you are making these articles. Nepal is the same. People are just in denial. If you are here, show them how similarly dirty Nepal is and show them how people can’t grasp the idea of common courtesy. Queue up here in Nepal, people will cut lines. You walk in at the sidewalk, not one person will give way for you. People spit and piss in front of people’s homes. If you see other YouTubers they show how kind and happy Nepalese are. Anyone can do that for 5 min in front of a camera. Kind caring people don’t act that way.
I was in india once. There is so much to love about the magical places like gokarna, parts of goa, pushkar, and Himalaya. However the intensity of the experience of even small city india and travelling from place to place by local buses is extremely intense if you’ve grown up almost anywhere else. In delhi or mumbai or other megacities i almost instantly feel like i am losing your mind!! Even though youve seen all these articles nothing can prepare you for the sensory overload mixed with the smells and, until you get to smaller or more rural areas, the endless noise. I dont think i will ever go again though. A fantastic life experience but the sight of rancid waterways filled with shit amd trash almost everywhere you go is something that i find one of the most depressing sights on earth. Death and disease are always nearby, as is colour and spice and life. Even in some more touristic bathing areas in goa being in the sea has a kind of gross feeling about it, lots of things floating around in the warm milky green sea. But then driving your moped through the jungly beach side towns with monkeys and mangos and coconuts growing around you forgive it all and love its beauty.
bro i’m from India i know that not everything you show is human poop it would be either cow dunk or dog poop in the streets but the thing you show as beach may be true improper sanitation may exist few homeless people do that in the beach were our ansisters did in old ways,down south Tamilnadu, Kerala, Banglooru (less scams) are smooth and you got many places to visit and less hoods i’m from Tamilnadu love your content
That’s Mumbai for you, ngl! But that’s the thing: you see, the poop problem is limited to it; you may visit any other beach/coastline area in India apart from Mumbai’s, and you’ll be happy. Beaches in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andra Pradesh, Telangana, Goa etc. are all hygienic, clean and absolutely untouched by the poop epidemic of Mumbai.
BUT SIR MY INDIA IS THE REAL SUPERPOWER 🤗🇮🇳 WE HAVE THE BEST INFRASTRUCTURE AND HIGHSPEED RAIL 🤗🇮🇳 THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇮🇳🤗, WE NEVER SCAM!

Bruh wth? I mean india is definitely not the cleanest country but holy hell this article is like going to the worst places in the city and believing whole country is like that. And people are also being racist in the comments. Its like going to dubai and only showing the conditions the workers live in and the poop trucks.
I am indian, born in UK. I have been India many times and everytime I see these YouTubers and Indians on Youtube lie about how “developed” India is it blows my Mind! Thanks for being honest without being obnoxious. More people need to be honest as I don’t think it is good for people to reinforce Indians delusions and not hold the government to account!
I visited India many times (north, west and south) and I must say my experience is very different. I experienced the wealthy, clean and developed side of India (which exists in many cities and states). My advice is to visit the middle class neighborhoods and shopping districts /malls to see a completely different side of India. Also don’t go on a budget holiday because you will only be able to afford to stay in the old parts of the city (slums) which are shown in this article.
Bro really went into the most uneducated area and expected then to answer him “indians bargain for everything” he was literally bargaining the shit out of them thjs was the most generalised article ever by arab. Racism against indians is overlooked i never saw these type of comments on the nigeria article
I went to vacation in india(im there for a week more rn), and jm currently sick due to the air. I have a fucking fever and i got an infection here too. Only redeeming part of this vacation is visiting extended family and eating home cooked and restaurant meals, not the forbidden street food… God save me 😭😭
Congrats brother you successfully united every person from world to racially abuse us👏 . Hope yur ego satisfied by this good job. Thank you for showing our country as the poorest, diertiest and s*itty place in the world. 1 thing to say you made many of them realize how grateful they are to not born in India
2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings – on Easter Sunday, three churches across the country and three luxury hotels in Colombo were bombed. Later that day, there were smaller explosions at a housing complex and a guest house. Authorities confirmed that the bombers were Sri Lankan citizens associated with National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ), a local militant radical Islamist group, but foreign links were suspected.(
