People
Who they are
The Degenan live along the southern coast of Madang Province in Papua New Guinea, mainly in the villages of Seure and Sel. Their daily lives are shaped by community life in coastal villages and strong kinship ties. Their everyday communication reflects a period of cultural transition: while elders preserve their traditional language, Degenang, younger generations have widely adopted Tok Pisin for daily use.
