One of the indigenous tribes that attracts attention is the Korowai Tribe.
Papua is famous not only for its incredible wealth of flora and fauna but also the wealth of indigenous and unique tribes.
The Korowai tribe is one of the indigenous tribes in Papua, Indonesia that lives in the wilderness area.
They are famous for their skills in building tall houses, reaching a height of up to 30 meters.
These houses were built using wood and rattan rope, and were occupied by several families consisting of several floor.
In addition to their expertise in building houses, the Korowai tribe also has a unique tradition and attracts the attention of many people.
One is their past history involving the practice of cannibalism.
In the past, the Korowai tribe had a tradition of cannibalism where they would eat human flesh as part of religious ceremonies or as an act of revenge.
However, it is important to remember that this practice of cannibalism has now been abandoned by most members of the Korowai tribe.
They now live by adhering to religions such as native beliefs and religions introduced by missionaries. Cannibalism has only become part of their history.
The daily life of the Korowai tribe is still very remote and isolated from the modern world.
They rely on the forest and the surrounding nature to survive, hunt and concoct food.
Although there are still some Korowai tribal groups living traditionally, some of them have interacted with the outside world and adopted some elements of modern culture.
The interest in the Korowai tribe is largely due to their uniqueness in building tall houses and the history of cannibalism they once had.
However, it is important to respect their lives and culture by understanding that they are a society that lives in a different way and has their own values and traditions.
