  • Hagen Settlement Histories: Dispersals and Consolidations
    22 Hagen Settlement Histories: Dispersals and Consolidations Andrew Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart Introduction In 1998, we coedited the volume Kuk Heritage: Issues and debates in Papua New Guinea, which brought together the writings of archaeologists and social scientists on the Kuk site project (Strathern and Stewart 1998a). The collection included a chapter by Andrew Moutu of the Papua New Guinea National Museum discussing the archaeological heritage at Kuk (Moutu 1998), reports by Herman Mandui and Nick Araho of the Papua New Guinea National Museum on the archaeological site itself (Araho 1998; Mandui 1998), contributions from Jack Golson and Pamela Swadling (Golson and Swadling 1998) and John Muke (Muke 1998). These contributors, as well as everyone working at Kuk, understand that although archaeology can reveal the deep history of the Kuk site, more recent stories about Kuk are also significant and are an important part of the heritage of Papua New Guinea (Strathern 1972: 37). In this chapter, we present a brief history of some settlement patterns of groups in the Kuk area during the 20th century (Fig. 22.1).1 Histories of movement and warfare The long-term history of groups of people in the highlands of Papua New Guinea is a history of movements. Either in search of new areas to cultivate or as refugees from warfare, people have constantly been in quest of secure and fertile ecological niches for themselves. In Western Highlands Province, among the Hageners or Melpa speakers, we see another correlate of these patterns of movement: certain named groups became large and powerful, while others dwindled and were made peripheral.

  • Goroka Market
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS EPW-8 P. O. Box 628, Goroka :rket Port Moresby, Papua, Territory of Papua & New Guinea OCtober 6, 967 Mr. Richard H. Nolte, Executive Director, Institute of Current World Affairs, 366 Madison Avenue, New York I007, New York, United States of America Dear Mr. Nolte, Goroka lies on the main Highlands Highway roughly midway between Mount Hagen and Lae. It is the end of the road for many of the hundreds of trucks that travel each week between the Highlands and the coast, for beyond Goroka the road is oftem closed because of landslips, and it is marginal whether it is cheaper to transport goods by road, or by air to and from Madang. Beyond Goroka one's chances of a backload to the coast grow dimmer as one progresses inland, for even in the Highlands, presently the area with the highest economic potential in the Territory, more goods are still transported in than are eported to other centres. As was until recently the case in Mount Hagen, and is still quite glaringly so in _anantu, Goroka is effectively cut in two by its airstrip. Aeroplanes were landing egularly in the Highlands up to 20 years before the first trucks came up the Eassam Pass in the early 950s. Throughout most of the week Goroka has a rather quiet air. Indeed, unless one is part of the various indi.enous, public service, academic, coercial or planting components of the local scene, it can be a very boring town. Coming from the coast, the Highlands Highway enters the commercial part of town, where the hotel, rotel and guesthouse, and the few main general stores are located.
