How have the Aluni Valley Duna people of Papua New Guinea responded
to the challenges of colonial and post-colonial changes that have
entered their lifeworld since the middle of the Twentieth-Century?
Living in a corner of the world influenced by mining companies but
relatively neglected in terms of government-sponsored development,
these people have dealt creatively with forces of change by
redeploying their own mythological themes about the cosmos in order
to make claims on outside corporations and by subtly combining
features of their customary practices with forms of Christianity,
attempting to empower their past as a means of confronting the
future.
