What do you think the ancestry of the natives should be?

Let me explain on how the natives were portrayed in the previous Kong films:

- The ancestry of the natives in the original 1933 film suggests they are a South East Asian group though they are portrayed by African-American actors and actresses

- The ancestry of the natives in the 1976 remake seems to be West African and just like in the original film they are portrayed by African-American actors and actresses

- The ancestry of the natives in the 2005 remake appear to be mixed Melanesian descent and they are largely portrayed by a number of actors with Maori descent and actors from Sudan, Polynesia, Fiji, Cambodia, and other countries from Asia but most of them do not speak English and they were sprayed with brown paint to make all of their skin tones coincide

- The ancestry of the natives in Kong: Skull Island appear to have a more Southeast Asian appearance and they mostly played by Southeast Asian actors who have no acting experience
