Korowai Tribe

There are diverse tribes, human society once did not know its existence. Until 1970, humans did not know the existence of the Korowai society. Corowai is also called Corfu from the southwestern part of western New Guinea. The Corowai tribe follows common language, economic system, and unique lifestyle. They practice rituals and have incredible architectural knowledge. Even if they are on the verge of extinction, the Kolowai continues practicing their own culture and traditional rituals.

For a couple of days I was trekking in a rainy sunken Jungle in New Guinea, Indonesia, and I was about to visit colonists. Just shortly after the first sun this morning, I took a canoe pulled from the trunk, along the last stage of the twisted Ndeiram Kabur River. Now 4 paddlers are turning back and forth, we know to camp at night. My guide Kornelius Kembaren has traveled to Corowai for 13 years. But even if he never went so far, he said that some Korowai threatened to kill outsiders entering their territory. Some clans are said to be afraid of our pale people, and Kembaren said that many Korowais never saw Caucasians. They call outsider rare ("ghost demon")

Certain cannibalism has been practiced in prehistoric humans, which lasted in several isolated cultures of the South Pacific, especially in Fiji in the 19th century. Today, however, Corowai is one of the few tribes considered to be eating human flesh. When Michael Rockefeller, the son of Nelson Rockefeller of New York State Governor in 1961, disappeared when collecting relics from another Papua, they disappeared in an inland area that was about 100 miles away from the Arabora Sea I lived there. His body has never been found. Most Koloai still do not know very little about the world other than their home town, and often do not agree. Several people are said to kill the witch they call Kakawa and eat.

The best estimate is about 4,000 Koloi. Traditionally they lived in a tree house and more than a dozen people lived in a square dotted in the jungle; Smithsonian was anthropologist Paul Taylor in 1994 documentary Pointed out that he is on the tree house and the surrounding land. Attachment is the core of their identity and they are kings of the garden. However, in the past few decades, some of the Coloists have migrated to villages established by missionaries in the Netherlands, and in recent years some tourists have advanced into the land of Corowai. However, the deeper the tropical rainforest, the less the influence on the culture of Coloi will be.
