New Guinea Ceremonies
by David Gillison
When David Gillison first arrived in New Guinea in 1973, ceremonies
marking birth, death, initiation, and marriage were still being conducted
by the Gimi tribe as they had been for thousands of years. Today, many
of the Gimi's indigenous traditions, like those depicted in Abrams' acclaimed
African Ceremonies, are disappearing forever. Gillison's brilliant photographs
and intimate text capture the remarkable dramas enacted during what was
probably the last-ever Hau, a two-week fertility festival. Ranging from
creation myths to scenarios of affairs, clan jealousies, and family strife,
these playlets, ultimately forbidden by Westerners, are no longer performed.
Gillison movingly preserves them here for history. The only photographic
record we have of the Gimi and their unique theater rituals, the book also
depicts the major effort to save the spectacular rainforest home of the
Gimi, which stands as a world model for indigenous conservation. Amazon.com
