Korowai and Kombai always moves from one place to another in
order to be close to the foods and hunted animals provides
by nature. Both Korowai and Kombai are hunter and gatherer
who move and build a new tree house once every 3 years. For
this reason we do not fix the place of our destination or
what activities we do day by day.
Once we arrive in
Yaniruma,
our contact person telling us and update all the information
in Korowai and Kombai area including the people and their
tree house or if there is any sago grub feast take place
while we are in the area. Sago grubs feast is the main
ritual ceremony in Korowai and Kombai tribe to re-new their
world and relation with God/Spirit and among their own
people in the clans or groups.
We will arrange our visit to
the place where the feast take place and experience a lot of
things from the people. During the feast, the host of the
feast will serve a lot of foods including the most delicacy
"Sago grub" to the invited guests and every one
will put on their best wear and dancing.
Traditional wear of
Korowai is very simple, men wear a piece of leave or a small
penis gourd to cover their penis and women wear the skirt
made of woven sago leaves. The Kombai tribe wear the same
with Korowai but, some of Kombai men wear the hornbill head
instead of the gourd during the feast time.
