Wait, aren't we supposed to respect and cherish the local belief system?

Who is this we? This is a video about members of the Papua New Guineans helping other Papua New Guineans. You can do whatever you’d like, and so shall they.

study "radical anthropology" lecture series on vimeo - the locals there are 50,000 years established but there is an older cultural belief that they originate from.

Lol, i think that woman in the video is my aunty. Well, my moms childhood friend, but we just call them aunty or uncle out of respect.

Witchcraft is real and it deals with energy. You cannot destroy energy

[@SiiriCressey]

Do you think that justifies physical violence?

[@Jonathan-vx7xi]

Witchcraft is not real. It wasn't real in Salem, it's not real in PNG. What a horrible fate to be falsely accused of someone's illness or death.

Interesting when college and uni grads believe in it.​@@SiiriCressey
