festival Baliem
Papua typical festival has its roots in the beliefs of local tribes that the war not only conflict keuasaan and interests, but also a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Since 20 years ago, local governments have stressed the importance of peace between the tribes who fought to prevent retaliation and prolonged loss of life. So, Baliem Valley Festival is an event held to replace the war between the tribe.
As you may have guessed, the main event is a war between tribes. Imagine more than 20 different tribes with each of the 30 to 50 people wearing traditional clothing, carrying spears, bows, arrows and machetes! There are also performances and a host of other attractions, such as the local traditional games, dances, as well as local cuisine.
