Papua, Korowai tribe

یہ دنیا کا عجیب قبیلہ ہےجو آج بھی ہزاروں سال پرانا طرز زندگی اختیار کیے ہوئے ہیں۔

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

The island is a mountainous, sparsely populated tropical land divided between two countries. In the east, the island is controlled by the independent Papua New Guinea, 

while the provinces of Papua and West Irian Jaya command the west. Entering the area where the Korowai tribe lives requires entering the rainforest. 

The feeling is like stepping into a giant watery cave, with bright sun above you, but as you go deep into the forest, the tree canopy’s create a verdant gloom. 

The rainforest is a haunt of killer snakes, lethal microbes, insects and giant spiders. There, high in the trees, lives 

the Korowai People, one of the last tribes in the world that practices cannibalism, but for ritual purposes. 

Some Korowai people threaten to kill outsiders the moment they enter the Korowai territory. The reason is simple, 

the Korowai fear people with pale skin, as some believe they have never laid eye on a person with white skin. For the Korowai tribe, 

outsiders are “laleo” or ghost demons.
