Middle Sepik, PNG
The people of the Middle Sepik have very little, but are a happy and loving people. With the men fishing and hunting and the women taking care of the pigs and crops, the children are very independent. The young take care of the younger, spending much of their time swimming in the estuaries of the mighty Sepik River in order to keep cool. The stifling heat makes clothing unnecessary, with only the Christian converts making an effort to cover themselves.

PNG is a snapshot in time, with the tribes of the Highlands seeing outsiders for the first time in 1930. Headhunting and cannibalism are traditional practices that were only recently subdued through heavy missionary influence. The rugged terrain maintained tribal isolation resulting in 800 unique languages and cultures. The few travelers who visit this amazing country are rewarded with an adventure of a lifetime.
