Who they are
The Kandas are a small indigenous group living in the southern part of New Ireland island in Papua New Guinea. Closely connected to the Melanesian coastal ecosystem, they preserve their native language in close-knit village communities. Their communal identity reflects a strong Christian heritage, developed over generations of contact with the gospel in the Pacific islands.
