WAWAWA

In Papua, the sumptuous shade of green is surprising and unforgettable. The high jungle provides a variety of palm trees used by the Papua people to make their bows or for their food. There are all kinds of animals like the cassowary, the bird of paradise, snakes. In this illustration, a highlander warrior in Mount Hagen during Sing Sing Ceremony has decorated his head with cassowary bones and bird of paradise feathers. You can still hear him saying these syllables: Wa Wa Wa, which means «Welcome to you.»
