Description
The people of the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea have a rich history of rituals and war that has inspired study and intrigue for over 70 years. Western explorers discovered the islands in 1793, and the British came to the area in the early 20th century, seizing the southern portion of New Guinea. When their new settlement was established, many traders, anthropologists, and missionaries followed. As seen in this documentary, the missionaries had the most influence, for they introduced the sport of cricket to the islands. This sport was quickly adopted and soon served as a replacement for the tribal battles that had decimated the indigenous population for so many years.
