Are yall ready for this shit?

Who got raped first?

How many human sacrifices they have to their God per day?

The way power is displayed in Trobriand society

is

how many yams you have

I can't make this shit up

Yams = Vegetable.

Yams are not food, they're a display of power and a ritual food

....

what

According to Google it's a vegetable.

in in the actual fuck

I'll show up with a truckload of yams= "weakling Bow before your master!"

So...

You can't actually

Yams... is this some amazonian tribe?

It's considered insulting to have more yams than the chieftain

> People fuck as young as 9
> Doesn't understand electricity
>"powerful and successful"
>women run it
>all deaths are caused by curses from witch doctors
>multiple versions of their wealth literally grows on trees and bushes

I'll have a gun

Also no, they're not amazonian. They live in the pacific region

*Shoots chieftain*.

"Anyone else?"

Around Papua New Guinea

maybe that's why tribes got conquered, by disrupting to their core the power structure?

The mourning process is strange as well

Whenever someone dies you're not allowed to work for months

That's... very smart.

the meere presence of BOERs caused a way of power shifts in suth africa as Boers were raising and selling cattle to the ships going and comeing from India

_facepalms_

>doesn't allow people to work for months after someone dies

How... what????

Why???????

How are they not all dead exactly?

Another odd fact

kill half the population... everyone else will starve to death

It just goes to show, if you want to lead an area, there are places in the world that live in shitty enough conditions.

If you're a friend of person who has recently had a relative die, they take up a new name until the mourning process is over. Should you call them by their previous name is one of the worst things you can do and people will outwardly hate you.

Just take over (it's not like they'll stop you especially if you show even a little bit of force) and boom.

So a society led by females is shit and has retarded rules?

Who would've thought?
