Forests Logging Background (Papua New Guinea : 2003)
Seen here is headmans wife Wanowa Yakani. Logging threatens Yokoname Mountain, the ancestral burial grounds of the Batamo Clan. Hokowe Pamowe, headman of the Clan, is angry and upset that construction of a logging road through their sacred place is imminent. A survey road has been marked directly through the site. Batamo legend tells of an ancestor turned to stone in this area; since then the bodies of generations have been placed on shelves at Yokoname Mountain. Their bones hold power and form a spiritual home for the Clan. The Batamo believe that disturbance of this place will bring about a bad future for the clan.
