This is a compilation of basic linguistic and anthropological information about the Korowai of Irian Jaya (the western half of New Guinea). Remote and untouched by the modern world, they are threatened by the larger Indonesian society. Their language, oral literature, and ethnography are examined in a systematic and integrated manner.
