papuan

It seems to be happening even right now with Indonesian Muslims annihilating and colonizing West Papuan tribal populations.

> Refers to the understood native population of, roughly, Australia Does this mean aboriginal Australians, Papuan type people?

There are lots of people in the Papuan rainforest who only joined civilisation in living memory.

You might think differently if someone teleported you into a Papuan clan whose patriarch/matriarch exiled you for some arbitrary reason.

Even in your type example, I doubt that papuan chiefs were oblivious of the political elements gift giving.

This process is also happening in Papua, quite violently as one half of the island is pretty much an open pit mine occupied by East Asian Indonesian soldiers fighting off indigenous Papuan tribes.

> Widespread atrocities committed by Indonesian forces have led human rights groups to describe the situation as a genocide against the indigenous Papuan population.

As do black lesbians, Papuan pearl divers, and for all I know the Turkish blue-ringed octopus (our only social octopus).

Today, in 2020, the genocide of the West Papuan people continues.

I'm wondering what effect this has on isolated Amazonian and Papuan tribes.

My brother in law is Papuan and no one in his village has an official birth year or date since they just don't keep track of it, so when he got his first official government ID at a much later stage of his life, he chose an arbitrary date cause it means nothing to him.

How much should we be concerned about how it will effect isolated Amazonian and Papuan tribes when the moon is lit up with a hundred points of light on the dark-crescent side as the phases shift, and one can make out the twinkle of ion drives or torch ships crisscrossing from lunar to Earth orbits?

Comparing them to children - "At the age of two he[the child] looks like a Papuan" 2.

As cannibals - "The Papuan kills his enemies and eats them." 4.

Again compares them to children, and implies they are degenerates - "But what is natural for, a Papuan and a child, is degenerate for modern man." 6.

As a reckless ornamenter - "The Papuan tattoos his skin, his boat, his rudder, his oars; in short, everything he can get his hands on." 5.

Neither you nor I are sufficiently aware of the inner complexity of French society (or American, of Papuan) to make so bold judgments.
