The Korowai people live in Southeastern Papua in the island of New Guinea, the second largest island in the world

They were discovered in 1974.
The Korowai were unaware of the existence of any other people on earth other than themselves.
They live high above the ground on trees and practiced cannibalism, some reports state that they still practice ritual cannibalism .

Cannibalism

The Korowai practice cannibalistic rituals when someone is convicted of being a “khakhua”, which is a witch doctor. They believe Khakhua comes always disguised as a “friend or a relative” to the person khakhua wants to kills. These people believe that the khakhua eats the inside of the victim while the victim sleeps. The khakhua replaces the inside of the victim with ash, and then the victim don't have the ability to find out he is being eaten. He then shoots a magical arrow to the victim’s heart and kills him.

They believe that dying relatives always whisper the name of the khakhua before they pass on. The friends, family and members of the clan the dead victim belonged to would seize the person accused to be the khakhua, they would kill him/ her and eat the flesh.

Quora, a place to be i swear.

hmmmm

How were they able to successfully pose for a camera, as primitive as they are? and how was the photographer able to communicate with them? Lol.

Imagine banging from the tree top

Just passing with my face mask

Must be descendants of one time cursed and banished couple.

Tufiaakwa!

Safe from Covid-19.

I think Great Architect Lecobuzier got his idea from this tribe

I know for a sure that this was how a certain group of people originated........ To explain why they will never value human lives.....

The friends, family and members of the clan the dead victim belonged to would seize the person accused to be the khakhua, they would kill him/ her and eat the flesh.

As primitive as this sounds there is logic in it. Where they live protein is hard to come by. Animals are smart and good at evading predators. Once in a while nutrition in the form of long pork (human meat) is needed. If such belief is not held the people will die off eventually from starvation.

The researchers were able to communicate with the natives by first making their presence known for a period of time. When the locals gained courage they approached the mostly white people. Later the use of hand signals was employed. After everything the explorers took out a pen and paper to write the words used to name certain things. It is a crude form of communication but better than the alternative of pure ignorance/silence.

Wonder of nature.
