A fascinating journey into the work of Gunnar Landtman, a Finnish social anthropologist, who studied the Kiwai Papuans of what used to be British New Guinea from 1910-1912. This catalog aptly recounts his travels, while beautifully documenting - in word and image - key aspects of the lives of the Kiwai Papuans, including their various rituals, cultural taboos, dress, economy, ceremonies, food, warfare, and more.
