AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Williams, as in his previously published book entitled Orokaiva Magic, (document 2:Williams) compiled the material for this volume while serving in his official capacity as Anthropologist for the Papuan government. The book originally appeared as Anthropological Report No. 10 of the Papuan Government. During his field trips, Williams visited most of the Orokaiva area, but concentrated his attention primarily on the Aigá tribe, and secondarily on the Binandele and Wasida. He visited all the other Orokaiva tribes during his two field trips, and has incorporated the information into this study.
