The Dugum Dani
For many years anthropologists have speculated about primitive warfare, its place in a particular culture, its form, and its consequences on other tribes. This full-scale ethnography of the Dugum Dani centers on the issue of hostility between groups of human beings and the place and function of violence. Warfare, like rituals and kinship alliances, is part of a total culture, and for this reason Professor Heider has approached the Dani from a holistic point of view. Other aspects of Dani life and organization are shown in interrelationship with the institution of warfare, such as the social, ecological, and technological elements in the Dani way of life. Professor Heider examines particularl...
Inside the Dani Tribe
Deep in the highlands of Western New Guinea, Indonesia lives one of the world's most isolated tribes. With similarities to how pre-historic men once lived, the Dani tribe struggles to protect their cultures and their traditional way of living. One of their customs is the wearing of Koteka - known as the penis Sheath, typically worn by Males; self-mutilation is also practised by the women. Women cut off the end of their own fingers or tip of the ears to mark the loss of their close family members, showing respect and grieving. The practice to symbolize the pain one feels after losing a loved one. Using arrows to hunt and earth-ovens to cook their meals still exist as the main way of living. However, this will soon vanish with our modern development. With their uniqueness and liberal way of dressing, they are indeed one of the most interesting tribes in the world.
The Dani, the Lani
THE BOOK The Dani group, centered in the Baliem Valley, has long taken the world's attention. It is by far the best-known ethnic group in West New Guinea, ever since its discovery by the aptly named American explorer Richard Archbold in 1938. While some Dutch groups had passed close by during previous nears, none had seen the valley itself with its high population of 50,000 to 100,000. The flat, fertile valley bottom was expertly farmed with irrigation and drainage in geometrically laid out fields of raised mounds that produced bumper crops of sweet potatoes. The Dani group was discovered when Archbold flew his hydroplane overhead and was suitably impressed by the gardens beautiful, orderly ...

Highland Peoples of New Guinea
Fifty years ago the New Guinea highlands were isolated and unknown to outsiders. As the highland peoples of New Guinea are among the last large groups to be brought into the world community, they are of major interest to ecologists, social anthropologists and cultural historians. This study synthesises previous anthropological research on the New Guinea highland peoples and cultures and demonstrates the interrelations of ecological adaptation, population and society. In describing, analysing and comparing the technology, culture and community life of peoples of the highland and the highland fringe, Professor Brown shows the special character of these societies, which have developed in isolation. In addition to examining the unique regional development of the New Guinea highland peoples, this book, a study in ecological and social anthropology, brings together theses two analytical fields and demonstrates their interrelationships.
