You forgot the 20th century heritage of cannibalism. They used to have dinner after the BBQ.

We know missionaries in irian jaya, and generally they say cannibalism stopped about 20 yrs. ago, but a lot of people think it's happened a lot more recently on an occasional basis. It's a whole different world over there, and I think rather than shun them, you have to gently bring them into the modern world. Unfortunately, that's not really happening. The people there have been exploited and abused, and many are pissed, as I understand it. My mom and step dad did a medical mission there, and came back with some outrageous stories. It's like no where else. kj.
