Who they are
The Bam are an island community living on volcanic islands off the northern coast of Papua New Guinea. With a strong connection to the ocean and the traditions of Melanesian peoples, they preserve their mother tongue within a way of life shaped by the rhythm of the waters, farming on fertile slopes, and mutual support within the community.
