A Gripping 2000 Expedition Memoir of Tracking Remote Tribal Life in Papua New Guinea
In 1993, following reports of the Liawep—a isolated mountain community of seventy-nine people living in the rainforests of Papua New Guinea—British journalist Edward Marriott organized an unauthorized expedition into the interior. Traveling without official government permits, Marriott braved dense jungle terrain and torrential mudslides.
His journal documents the hazardous trek and the complex cultural shock of meeting a community living cut off from modern technology, raising ethical questions about Western contact and indigenous preservation.
