Here are a few pictures from my time in Goroka in 1999...


Ekeka, where I lived in Kabiufa


My family

My mama, Jenny (age 19)


My grandmother and apo (namesake), Sivirito


My grandfather, Papa Pirua, cuts sugarcane from the garden


One day a hornbill came to visit... My cousin Skita and I were impressed.


This is how you wash in a calf-deep stream

Awesome photos, Skye! These remind me of your trip to NY right after getting back from PNG. They literally inspired me to get my grad school plans in gear. You are amazing.
