A series taken in a kitchen in a native hut in Wamena area. The men cabins are in this area round, the kitchen cabins and women cabins are elongated. In the kitchen cabin, every woman has (they may designate more than one wife), a private fireplace. On BD/37/217 sees what is unseen, if you heat. The entire cabin is filled with acrid smoke. It is no wonder that many people eventually suffer from their eyes and lungs.

Here a picture of the covered market (pasar) in Wamena. Here it is forbidden to act outside the building. One is caught, one can immediately get a couple of blows up! It is always a busy one and honking. And it has a smell, to be nauseated. Washing is done rarely, if ever, at night they smoked because of the fire all night to light up to drive the cold and mosquitoes away. And for a change they lubricate regularly with rancid lard.

A final image of woman as pack animals. These seem to be on a military patrol, complete with camouflage. And of course the inseparable digging stick. (Wamena area)

Commentaar maker foto: Waghete, markttijd. Hier had men nog geen marktgebouw, zoals in Wamena, en daarom legt ieder zijn koopwaar maar op de grond. Opgemerkt moet worden, dat deze mensen al hoogmodern zijn, ze hebben kleren aan, die echter vaak niet al te schoon zijn. "Mensen in de kleren jagen" heeft geen zin. Er komt een hele andere cultuur te voorschijn, en dat moet men aanleren. Men draagt de kleren dus tot ze van ellende uit elkaar vallen.

Heavier load can no last longer. Carrying-net full, child above the shoulders, and the lords of creation often do nothing.
