Dani, the people of a tribe live spreading in a high land of Baliem
Valley. It is considered as one of the most heterogeneous
habitants in the world. They are warlike to defend their territory
and most respected in the plains of the second largest island in
the world. However, they live very simple life, have a great sense
of family, respect for nature and culture, they are also very well
known as survivors wherever they are.
They are tied closely to the traditional culture so when we visit the
area as if we're leaping to 100 years ago, where the traditional
ways of the stone age are still applied here for a variety of
purposes and stages. "Until when will they survive?"
