 |
| We are welcomed by an elder in his hut and |
 |
| In Mount Hagen we go to a Sing Sing( festival) |
 |
| to see different tribes... |
 |
| with colorful attire |
 |
| we take a boat along the peaceful Sepik river |
 |
| meet the local people |
 |
| living along the river |
 |
| where missionaries built churches... |
 |
| merging christianity and totem |
 |
| A blue eyed and tattooed woman walks out of the church |
 |
| the" Tambura house"where men are initiated |
 |
| and endure painful scarification |
 |
| in some villages women are also initiated |
 |
| This local band plaid for us |
 |
| they exhibited beautiful masks |
 |
| breast feeding is the only way to go |
 |
| The main handcraft activity is to make bags |
 |
| After a flight to Tari, we are welcomed by the Huli guide's family |
 |
| but his wife has to go and work in the fields |
 |
| we look at the decorated whig of the Huli men... |
 |
| This one with Bird of Paradise feathers |
 |
| Kids smile friendly to us at the market |
 |
| by the beach... |
 |
| We are charmed |
 |
| and surprised by this mother kanguru and her baby |
