Synopsis
New Guinea is home to more than a 1000 Stone Age tribes, each with its own language, customs and folklore which have changed little in 40,000 years. In eight trips over ten years, photographer Chris Rainier has travelled to the island to document the lives and rituals of the indigenous peoples. The result is this photographic record, showing the cultural distinctions of each tribe. Short essays accompany the photographs throughout, describing the adventures behind them. Traditions and celebrations captured include crocodile cults, ritualized costuming and tattooing, homosexual rites, sing-sing celebrations, spirit houses, rites of passage and shark calling.

    An wonderful buying experience! The seller’s description of this hard-to-find book did not do it justice.Because it was a hard cover at over 1100 pages,I asked if the seller would ship it Priority Mail instead of Media Mail. He did so the very next day -at no extra charge! Overall, I estimate that I saved close to $50 for the best availabIe copy of this book on eBay. I hope I can buy from this seller again in the very near future.He is a real find,and a definite asset to eBay’
