Korowai Tribe: The Korwai tribe lives in the Papua forests of Indonesia and spends life by building houses on trees. This tribe is still far from the modern world
There is a tribe in the dense and mysterious forests of Papua province of Indonesia, which has surprised the world with its unique lifestyle. The name of this tribe is Korwai. These people do not make their homes on high trees, not on the ground. Their ‘tree houses’ are about 10 to 50 meters above and stand on the branches of strong trees. When someone sees them, it seems as if a film scene is going on.
The people of the Korwai tribe do not live on trees just for showing. There is a big reason behind this- security. In history, he has been threatened by enemy tribes many times. These houses built above the ground protect them from such attacks. Apart from this, they are also protected from wild animals of the forest. His method has been working for years and now it has become their tradition.
The Korwai tribe is one of the few communities that are still far from the modern world. Until the 1970s, the world did not know anything about their existence. Some Corin people also believed that they are the only person on earth. Even today, there are some groups of this tribe who have never seen any outsider.
The Korwai tribe is completely dependent on the forest. They neither live in cities nor buy goods from any market. They catch fish, hunt and collect food and drink from the forest, such as foods called Savarisi. The forest is not just a place for them, it is their home, their life.
In recent years, some groups of Korwai tribes have gradually begun to contact the outside world. Now they have started talking to tourists and missionaries. In some documents, they are also shown, such as “First contact” and “Human Planet”, which gave a glimpse of their lives.
The Korwai tribe is also known as Kolufo. This tribe mainly lives in the southeastern part of Papua. Their total population is considered to be between 4,000 and 4,400. Despite being a tribe of so few people, they have kept their culture and lifestyle completely completely.
The Korwai tribe teaches us how humans can mold according to the environment around them. While we are becoming dependent on technology, these people are living a coordination with nature and living a safe life. This tribe gives a new view to the world from its living and life point of view.
This tribe is still away from the modern world and is completely dependent on the forest. This tribe has met other people of the world after 55000 years. Or you say that humans have met.
