A comprehensive touring program takes you on a journey through the traditions and customs of
the Melpa People. First contact with the Melpa was made in the mid-1930s when the Leahy brothers
were prospecting for gold. The Melpa are said by anthropologists, to be “predisposed to capitalism,”
because of their complex traditional society in which “big men” earn status by accruing wealth
and then giving it all away in ceremonial exchanges.
