Who they are
The Arandai are an Indigenous people who inhabit the forests and riverine areas of the Bird’s Head Peninsula in the province of West Papua. They maintain strong communal traditions and live by subsistence farming, hunting, and fishing. Although much of the community professes Christianity, many still seek a deeper understanding of biblical faith in their mother tongue and within the cultural context of daily life.
