Who they are
The Korowai are an indigenous people living in the dense forests of southern Papua, Indonesia. Traditionally known for building houses high in the trees to protect themselves from threats in the jungle and local conflicts, they maintain a way of life closely connected to nature. Organized into family clans, they preserve their ancestral customs while navigating the increasing changes brought by contact with the outside world.
