Who they are
The Nii are an Indigenous people who inhabit the fertile highlands of Papua New Guinea, particularly the Wahgi Valley region. Traditionally devoted to subsistence farming and communal village life, they preserve a rich oral tradition and strong clan ties. Although Christianity is part of their recent history, many seek a deeper understanding of Scripture in their daily lives.
