Hello, Thanks for your comentary in my photo, I traduce for you the text of my photo.Indonesia, Irian Jaya (Papua), Korowai Area (Southeast)
Today I leave you with this translation of the book: THE LAST OF THE HOUSES ON Moradores TREES.
I hope that you find interesting and clarifying. Greetings and thank you all.
In hot and humid swamplands of Asmat live now between 50,000 and 60,000 inhabitants. Many Indonesians are migrants, others mixed. Both swamps as floodplains are crossed by many rivers intertwined born in the central mountain range. The sheer profusion of plants makes it almost impenetrable jungle. For this reason the population is concentrated in the banks of the rivers. The only exception is composed of hunters, the transition to the mountain called "men in trees".
Within the province of Merauke district is Ketakaman Kouh. The fact that they were not found for the subsoil wealth, joined the Belize character of its inhabitants, has determined that up to 15 years ago this land was totally unknown. The information provided by the missionaries know that this region is the homeland of the Korowai and family Kombai. It is estimated that both tribes have about 4,000 members. These are organized into several dozen clans usually estranged. Korowai Kombai and are possibly the last inhabitants of trees available to New Guinea. Clans often radically avoid contact with men, whether white, Indonesian, or simply belonging to a neighboring tribe or another clan.
By its constitution, the Korowai are much smaller and thinner than the inhabitants of the houses in the trees on the River Brazza. Males weigh as much 60 kg and her height does not exceed 1.60 m. Women are about 10 cm and its lower weight ranges between 45 and 50 kg because of the shortage of protein that gives the forest, who live in this environment are neither big nor fat - characteristics that make them excellent climbers.
In the mountains north of the territory occupied by the Korowai tribe sits Papuans dwarfs. They live in small huts built circular n TANDARD soil. Despite the striking differences which have the constitutional Korowai respect of its neighbors n orth, there are several cultural similarities between the two peoples to believe in old business relationships. As indigenous inhabitants of the coast adjacent orchards not cultivated or looked after their animals. On the contrary, given the limited resources offered by the forest, the Korowai grown a small number of products such as sago, or snuff the trees and raise pigs.
The starting point of our expedition is the town of Yaniruma enclave built in 1980 by Dutch missionaries who now has about 300 inhabitants. Meanwhile Beckingen of the region bounded by the rivers Yaniruma and Yafufla can be considered peaceful. Many of the goods of civilization have made their entry as well as the use of money. For the last few years, this region is visited by wealthy tourists. But so far all attempts have failed to remove governmental Korowai of their homes in trees and move permanently to Yaniruma.
Usually the Korowai are grouped in small clans and families living in houses located between 8 and 12 meters in height. These are built either in trees or on stilts in artificial clearings in the forest. Around it are gardens both the pigsty. Usually each group has two or three homes. The aislaminento of this mode of life is prompted by fear tothe clan enemies.
During the 1999 expedition to find a copy made to 35 m tall. Since the plane could see this huge building. Assured us that there are homes to 50 meters high. Besides enjoying fresh air and escape of animals from the ground, the inhabitants of the houses built on the trees are protected from the cruel assaults of their enemies and the evil spell.
As mast is used for these houses if the trunk thicker (up to 1 meter in diameter), relatively stable and straight of any live trees and the forest giants. When the tree has been found suitable men begin to construct a scaffold of ropes supported on one side of the trunk. To do this using trunks of young trees about six feet long and five centrimetros diameter. With the help of fresh vines and rattan stalks are tied to the trunks traverses one meter in length. When the vines are dry does not lessen their resistance to tearing, but to shrink, tightening the knot with still more wood. Korowai usually have a horizontal platform halfway up, where the stored material from work and rest at noon. During the construction process there is a clear division of labor. Older men experience and make a character on top of the tree while the young are responsible for the transport chain of the material. While the women gather materials, intervencioin directly in the process of building them is taboo. On the upper platform, which surface is generally not exceed 5 x 8 meters, walls were built about 150 cm tall with a stem made of sago palm leaves and woven bark and lined with trees. Before placing the pillars secundariios, the holes in the ground lined with grass to avoid the specific amount demons for them. The upper space is composed of beams and straps together with vines and covered with large flat pieces of tree bark. Both skirts roof makes an angle of 60 - 70 degrees above the floor. This huge construction, built with natural materials and tools of the stone age, supports strong storms and gales. For the European bodied we recommend for cats to go with our weight does not damage the building and to avoid breaking the soil to precipitate vacuum.
Access to the houses below is via mobile masts (yafin) made with notches on either side which is only a foot. This system is also used in the stretch superiior built at high altitude (while at the bottom using rope ladders). The pole, attached to the house with broken stems, can be raised for safety. The lower end of it is loose, alerting residents of the dwelling to any unexpected movement.
Also, pets are living on high. A central place in the house is the home of mud and branches hanging in the center of a hole at ground level of the herd. When the fire threatened to spread, the four strings that attach the home to the house can be cut quickly. In doing so the entire cooker is precipitated upon the earth.
The large houses have a separation of fields almost imperceptible: the entrances and stairs access for men and women are strictly separated. Usually the house has three stays in it. Women and children have an area be provided with a home. When at night the men gather in their space, access to this group stay is taboo. If the number of males was high, and young singles living in the home. With nightfall introduces a great activity among the inhabitants of the houses on the trees. Men sit around your house while smoking pipe passed from hand to hand. Among the glowing hot stones and ashes, wrapped in banana leaves, the sago is grilling, the meat of snake or insect larvae. Ceiling for black Ollin, a lot of jaws hanging pig heads kangaroo, nets, snake skeletons and eggs empty cassowary. The Korwais fear the night and rarely leave their homes in darkness.
