#KorowaiTribeAsmat

The Korowai tribe Papua is one of the indigenous people that still maintain their tradition and sustainable life. Take a closer look at their way of life and belief.
Down in the jungle of Papua, lives the Korowai tribe. Isolated from the city modernity and technology, they live in harmony with nature and sustainably. Though there were reports of cannibalism in the past, the Korowai tribe Papua now has started to leave the practice while still sticking strong to their tradition.
First encounter with the Korowai tribe Papua
Korowai people had just been discovered 35 years ago. In 1978, a Dutch Reformed Church missionary, Johannes Veldhuizen, had an accidental encounter with the Korowai people. Since then, he tried to find a way to search more of the tribe by using a local guide from the neighboring Citak tribe.
In the past, they often came into conflict with Citak people, in which many of the conflicts ended up in head-hunting or cannibalism.
Living in Well-Built Korowai Tree Houses
The Korowai tribe Papua is famous for their treehouses. It was built 8-15 meters off the ground, though there are houses that were built up to 45 meters on a tall tree. They usually use Banyan or Wanbom tree as the pole of the house. The structure uses tree branches, rattan, and sago bark. No nails are used, as they fastened everything using strong rattan ropes they make.
