Kalam, Indonesia - Papua New Guinea
From series “Wildest Tribes Avoiding Civilization”
Speaking of the Papua New Guinea tribes, the Kalam tribe is surely worth mentioning. The Kalam people are settled in a village high in the mountains of Simbai where they can only be reached by helicopter since the mountain road is very steep and slick and covered with bushes.
The Kalam men are skilled hunters, whereas the women are engaged in farming and gathering. The Kalam people have very friendly and strong relationships within the tribe. They live as one big family and have a great respect for the wonders of nature. Considering this, the symbolic meaning of the tribe name becomes quite clear. Sumerian word ‘kalam’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘kula’, which means ‘society’, ‘family’. Next - Ladakhi
