Papua—Kalabahai
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Map locates this Australian-administered mandate territory. Port Moresby, Bushy-headed ex-cannibals, with great dugout canoes live in independent villages, cultivate language differences, and are constantly at war. The less these nearly-naked savages have to fight for the more they fight. Missionaries' work complicated greatly by multiplicity of tongues. KALABAHAI, Dutch East Indies, is priest-ridden, superstitious, precarious place to live, where dancers have to be paid in food from the ship, because money has no value.
