“If you’re lost in the forest, it’s best to turn back and retrace your steps.”

The Gotufa people reside deep within the jungles of Papua New Guinea, surrounded by daunting mountain ranges. Though they mostly keep to themselves, one can occasionally spot them attending the annual sing-sing ceremony in Goroka town.
