Orokaiva refers to a number of culturally similar ethnic groups concentrated in the Popondetta district of Oro Province, Papua New Guinea. The most representative language, Orokaiva, is classified in the Binanderean (or Binandere) family in the Non-Austronesian Trans-New Guinea phylum and is spoken in most of the heavily populated parts of Oro Province. The economy is based primarily on agriculture supplemented by gathering, and limited hunting. Villages are small and leadership in the hands of  &#x22;big men&#x22; and elders.
