Papua New Guinea is a land of impenetrable rain forests, 38 species of birds of paradise, sweet potatoes and pigs. A land where there are no sheep, goats, cows and horses. There are no bicycles or mopeds, only a few cars. There are practically no restaurants, bars, shops, electricity or roads.
Here, a newborn girl can be called a Shovel, and a boy an Ax, and many residents do not even have a birth certificate. This is perhaps one of the most untouched corners on Earth.
The tribe lives in Mount Hagen, the capital of the Western Highlands province. It is the third largest city in Papua New Guinea, and it is named after a German colonist from the time of German New Guinea.
Representatives of this tribe coat their bodies with white clay and wear specific masks.
Mount Hagen is the frontier of civilization in this region of the country, and then the territories of the hill tribes of New Guinea begin. The city is located in a mountainous region with a cool climate, there are no outbreaks of malaria here.
White in Papuan culture represents death
Papua New Guinea has over 800 languages and each tribe speaks its own.
Once this tribe was defeated and was forced to flee to the Asaro River.
