Changes

       Reports have been written, claiming The Korowai’s practice cannibalism to present day. They are presumed to be one of the few cannibalistic tribes. After anthropologist and magazine reporters like Paul Raffaele visited the tribes there were no clear answers given to the accusations. Supposedly as the years passed, there have been no contrary on cannibalism. Instead of learning their traditions and practices alone, younger generations are completing primary school and secondary education, education opening them up to the world and not so restricted.



      Korowai tribes was unaware of outsiders for a very long time. As outsiders start to come in, they become extremely outraged but over a time period some begin to adapt. They are believed to fear those with pale skins.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
……Not so CHANGED. Their choice of weapons are still bows and arrows as they line up to go into the forest. The same with the living conditions, as it is still these tree houses that can be up to 80 feet above the ground.

  1. As life passes with time and new developments so do cultures and tradition change while some remain the same. The Korowai changed to do better for their younger generations and remain the same some ways by keeping certain rituals and form of weaponry.

  2. Here you could also talk about globalization from class, or relate it to videos watched about changes in indigenous communities and influences. Delete this comment after you read it Aymalia. Thanks.
