The Korowai people mainly have warfare because
of witch craft and sorcery-related conflicts. They were the victims of
headhunting raids by The Citak tribe. The last attack on them was in 1966.
Though there is no existence of a serious war, they have been forever enemies
with the Kombai tribe. Their tree houses are the only refuge from headhunting
tribes like The Asmat.

Reflection: Once you bring on evil curses, it is believed that only bad things would come of it and it would not be liked by many around. Well the Korowai did exactly that and caused many to be there enemies, there very weak compared to other tribes and are headhunted on a daily.
