Short Trip to West Papua & Initiation Ceremony on the Sepik
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
With little preparation and information, the author flies into West Papua where he first treks from mission to mission in 10 days among the Yali and Kim Yal people of the eastern highlands.Then he makes a more adventurous trek in the southern foothils to visit the remote Obini people. However with lack of understanding of their culture and no means to communicate with them he gets chased away after 4 days.Disappointed, he gives up on West Papua and flies back to more civilized Papua New Guinea, where he manages to take part in a traditional initiation ceremony along the Sepik River.
