The Kamoro

The Kamoro ethno-linguistic group, residing along the Arafura Sea, faces challenges due to the Grasberg mine's impact on their lands. The author shares personal experiences and insights from various explorers and anthropologists, focusing on cultural revival and traditional woodcarving skills fostered through mining compensation programs. This book is part of a series aimed at enhancing the study of New Guinea, encouraging contributions from scholars and local knowledge workers, and exploring themes like oral history, folklore, and local literature.
