Who they are
The Aikwakai, also known by the name of their language, Sikaritai, are an Indigenous people who inhabit the tropical forests of the Papua region. Traditionally connected to hunting, river fishing, and farming, they maintain a communal way of life closely tied to nature. In recent decades, contact with the gospel has transformed their villages, giving rise to a local Christian community.
