Who they are
The Gnau are an Indigenous people who inhabit the tropical forests of Sandaun Province in northwestern Papua New Guinea. They live in villages scattered across the hills, maintaining strong ties to their ancestral lands and communicating in their own traditional language.
Their community life is shaped by rich oral traditions, strong kinship ties, and a worldview deeply connected to the forest and the cycles of nature.
