Rituals[edit]

I don't see anything about homosexual rituals on the page linked to. Kappa 06:30, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Added source with homosexual rituals (though not positive if it was done properly)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Littleozzyman (talk • contribs) 07:42, 8 January 2006

Are these preadolescent boys acting voluntarily, or is this just a "nice" way of saying the older tribesman raped them? --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:29, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coca Cola sound? Dispella gamon too mas. Emi bullsh*t bilong long-long European drink too mas SP. Ask ten villagers the name of their cultural/racial identity and you get ten different answers. Proper nouns are the same within a clan (live close enough to communicate daily) extending say 3 generations. Words will vary outside of that group, so it depends on who you ask. The "courtesan" crap relates to a rite-of-passage for trans-pubescent boys. No, its no like priests and choir boys. Fathers leave deposit of their own semen on a leaf for a week or two, by which time it turns black and solid. Boys are herded together and made to run an obstacle course, and each father whips his own boy to make him tough. At the end of the race the boy must eat his father's leaf, or do the course again. Reminds me of a Derek & Clive sketch. ...220.244.76.187 (talk) 03:23, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

typo[edit]

In the sentence about J. K. McCarthy's book, I replaced the word "describe" with "described". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.29.66.88 (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anga?[edit]

List of ethnic groups mentions some Anga which, of today, refers only to the ancient Indian state. Is it about Angu?--Shanghainese.ua (talk) 19:50, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Jean-Pierre Dutilleux series[edit]

I don't think this film series is from 1976. I believe it's actually 1996, and someone accidentally said it was 1976 because of a reference to the 1976 Copyright Act. But the video itself says 1996, and I probably wouldn't expect that level of video quality from a portable camera in the 70s.

Also, I get the impression that the series was totally faked. Not an expert here, but this seems pretty convincing: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/4840/is-the-tribe-meets-white-man-for-the-first-time-video-fake 24.24.129.249 (talk) 05:11, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

http://web.archive.org/web/20030323174739/http://jpdutilleux.com/thework/toulambi/index.html (a website about Dutilleux, the filmmaker) states "European explorers first encoutnered the Toulambi in 1993." Whether this is accurate or not, and whether the footage is accurate or not, this contradicts the 1976 date. --Jcpet (talk) 01:30, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Angu → Kukukuku – No opinion. Other user's request. - Altenmann >talk 16:22, 30 October 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 14:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

may you please move the article Angu to Kukukuku (PNG people)? Angu shall become of disambiguation to integrate pt:Angu (dish). I personally can't overwrite existing redirects.

Google Ngram lists a baseline usage of the word "Angu" before these people were detected by the West. Kukukuku nevertheless dominates.

Thanks in advance.--U. M. Owen (talk) 12:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Oppose. With usage virtually neck-and-neck, and Angu leading in recent years apart from the latest, I'm not seeing a strong case for moving. — Amakuru (talk) 16:57, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
