Kewa Culture
The Kewa Culture is an indigenous culture from the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. It is known for its rich traditions, including unique art forms, music, and dance. The Kewa people primarily engage in subsistence agriculture, cultivating crops like sweet potatoes and taro, which are central to their diet and economy.
Social structure in Kewa culture is organized around clans, with strong emphasis on kinship and community ties. Traditional ceremonies, such as the Kewa Sing-Sing, showcase vibrant costumes and elaborate body paint, reflecting their cultural identity. The Kewa also practice ancestral worship, honoring their forebears through rituals and storytelling.
