Great post. Many don’t know about the West’s century long uninvited fascination with Papa New Guinea - working with bordering Asian Pacific Govts to cripple their population with Genocide and slavery - drilling oil for decades easily displacing natives while pillaging and certaintly taking serious advantage of their people resources - and stories like this where wealthy ‘adventurers’ come to manipulate and rob the locals of their art.

I remember a Shirley Temple film where she’s in Papa New Guinea as a toddler, paraded on film by her handlers during the rise of Hollywood.
