Fore People
The Fore People are an indigenous group from Papua New Guinea, primarily residing in the Eastern Highlands region. They are known for their unique cultural practices, including traditional rituals and a strong connection to their land. The Fore People have a rich oral history, passing down stories and knowledge through generations.
One notable aspect of their culture is the practice of kuru, a neurodegenerative disease linked to cannibalism, which was historically practiced during funerary rites. This practice has significantly impacted their population and health. Today, the Fore People continue to maintain their cultural identity while adapting to modern influences.
