Despite almost a century of contact with Europeans, the Bush Mekeo people of Papua New Guinea are still essentially unknown to the anthropological world. This book was the first detailed, comprehensive study of Bush Mekeo culture and society. The main force of the book is to explore empirically the logic by which Bush Mekeo symbols are connected.
