House Building Dedication in PNG
Buang, Morobe Province, PNG Papua New Guinea
Some non-formal community views of different parts of Papua New Guinea from John Evans, publisher of
www.pngbuai.com
Photo "... shows the view from front of house which is often in the clouds - to the
Snake Valley below - Kathy and Jackson (suppliers of the pig we ate)..." [for the] "... dedication so
that the community knows the purpose of the building and that they should
modify their activities acordingly." The dedication is also to address and "sort ... the spiritual elements".
...
[as photo above shows, it can be considerably cooler in the hills and mountain areas of Papua New Guinea in spite
of the proximity of the Equator]
Other participants at the building dedication included:
- John Evans standing in back row
-
a. Kakalem Nork - local historian - first graduate from the Buang area - he
stayed at home rather than the taking the route to fame and fortune of the
other early graduates. Has revived the dying dances and love songs and has a
prize wining dance group.
-
b. Jambok - Papa Graun and the guy who knows where all the spirits are and
their stories - one of the spirits was looking round the house during our
ceremony - a good sign he says.
[He has]... many stories - both the ancestor ones and
his experience in WW2 - as carrier - and as a young man in Lae.
