Slide 6: 

Goroka – Papua New Guinea – Festivity of Independence About 100 tribes arrive to show their music, dance and culture. This festival started in the mid 1950s from the initiative of missionaries. In recent years it became an attractive tourist destination because it is one of a few opportunities to see the traditional tribal culture.

Slide 7: 

Goroka – Green Spiderman -These days the Goroka show is partly a tourist event, but it’s a rare opportunity for travellers to experience the customs of over a hundred tribes that populate the Papua New Guinea highlands. During the course of the weekend the tribes gather for music, dancing, showing-off and extraordinary displays of tribal rituals.

What a traditional wigman does is use ancient magic to make hair grow faster than normal so it can be cut off and turned into a wig. Evidently, magic – like hair restorer – doesn’t work if the hair is long gone.

The Mudmen - Goroka – Papua New Guinea – Festivity of Independence -Yeah, well placed in the scene for the independent party. They belong to a tribe, an ethnic group, the mudmen. Neighbors scratch each other’s names and dressed themselves  in the victims ’spirits’  and were dancing on the ground. The Papuans really do believe in spirits  and their deceased ancestors are kept very much in honor. Tribal face paints in Papua New Guinea – Ornament – the bill of a hornbill - Hornbills are a family of birds. Hornbills are found in Africa, Asia and Pacific Northwest. The bill, much to those of the unrelated toucans reminiscent, in many species is brightly colored. Their impressive size and colour have helped make them a part of local tribal cultures and rituals.
