Cannibalism in New Guinea
ReplyDeleteDuring the early 20th century cannibalism was a typical food source for the tribes of new Guinea. When people from the outside world asked people of the tribe “Why” they answered “Why not”. The people of New Guinea say that they first started eating human flesh because their wives told them to. Since then eating human flesh was a typical thing to be eaten in New Guinea.
The tribal people have many ways, ceremonies, and customs when it comes to eating flesh. One of the customs is when one of the tribe members kill someone from another tribe the members of the hunting party bite off the nose of the other persons kill. A tradition of one of the tribes is once the tribes elders become to old to be of any use they tie them loosely to a tree and dance around the tree chanting. After they are done chanting they shake the tree violently until the elders plummet to the ground and are eaten by the younger tribe members. After winning a battle tribe members of the winning tribe would take the dead of the loser tribe and eat the corpse on the border of their land and the land of the enemy tribe. The enemy would watch and morn for their lost one even though if they had won the battle they would be doing the same thing to their enemy’s fallen warrior.
