Sacred past and profane present in Papua

Abstract

In 1954, before doing anthropological field work among the urban Motu at Port Moresby, I lived for seven months at Manumanu, a small Motu village situated on the shore about thirty-five miles from town. I hoped to learn something of the pagan religion that the Motu people of Port Moresby have now abandoned. Manumanu is the only village where the old Motu traditions still survive.
