Who they are
The Bunama are an Indigenous people who inhabit the islands of Milne Bay Province in eastern Papua New Guinea. With lives closely tied to the sea and subsistence farming, they preserve their own language and strong community traditions. Most profess the Christian faith, living out their spirituality within the simple rhythms of the region’s coastal villages.
