The Asmat are an ethnic group of New Guinea, residing in the province of South Papua, Indonesia. The Asmat Tribe, found in remote West Papua, Indonesia, has a fascinating ancient culture and possesses world-renowned wood carving skills. Famous globally for their intricate wood carvings that depict their deep spiritual connection to their ancestors and nature, living a life tied to mangrove forests, rivers, and a rich ceremonial culture centered on ancestor worship, with a society divided into coastal (fishermen) and inland (hunters/farmers) groups, navigating a challenging environment with unique traditions, local wisdom, and increasingly modern influences. Known for their exceptional artistry, the Asmat people also have a complex social structure and a dark history of headhunting and cannibalism.
Asmat People - The former headhunters and cannibals of the Asmat were once very feared and have only been safe to visit for a few decades. Until today many Asmat villages are wild and culturally intact. The Asmat are one of the best-known indigenous peoples of New Guinea, famous for their woodcarving art and their deeply rooted warrior tradition. The art of the Asmat, in particular their Bis Pole (as the Asmat call the phael) and war shields, is known and appreciated worldwide. Their works of art are not just aesthetic objects, but carry deep spiritual meanings linked to the worship of ancestors and the stories of the tribe.

The Korowai tribe is an Indigenous people living in the rainforests of southeastern Papua, Indonesia, known for their traditional treehouses built in the jungle canopy to escape flooding and animals. The Korowai tribe, often nicknamed the tree people, is one of the indigenous tribes of Papua that has a unique lifestyle that has caught the attention of the world, namely their unique habit of building tree houses towering above the tropical rainforest, far from the reach of modern humans.
The Korowai tribe is one of Indonesia’s cultural treasures that should be preserved. Their unique life in harmony with nature provides inspiration to appreciate cultural and environmental diversity. Korowai tree houses are built using natural materials that are easily found around the forest, such as wood, rattan and sago leaves. They have extraordinary skills in building sturdy and stable constructions on trees.
The Korowai tribe is a community of hunters and gatherers. They depend on the forest to fulfil their daily needs. Hunting and gathering activities are carried out by men, while women are responsible for domestic work and childcare.
The staple food of the Korowai tribe is sago, which is processed into various types of food. In addition to sago, they also consume game such as wild boar, tree kangaroos and various types of birds. The Korowai adhere to animism and dynamism. They believe that the spirits of their ancestors and nature have great power and influence their lives. Traditional rituals are often performed to ask for blessings and protection from these spirits.
