Papua Land Wealth

The Papuan tribe is located on an island located at the eastern tip of Indonesia, namely the island of Irian. And this island was split into two, the east parted itself and formed its own state, with the name Papua New Guinea. And the west is joined with Indonesia, with Irian Jaya or West Irian.

The name "Irian" contains a spirit of struggle, a spirit of heroism, a patriotic spirit, the words "Irian"' is an acronym for Join the Anti-Netherland Republic of Indonesia.
The Netherlands/Netherlands was a colonial nation in Indonesia for 350 years, with three main missions (3G): Gold-Gospel and Glory. Dredging wealth, Spreading Christianity and Seizing victory.

Papua has always been one of the favorite tourist destinations for foreign and local tourists. Not only that, Papua is also known to be rich in mining products and diverse flora and fauna.
Gold mining is carried out in Papua by PT Freeport America. It is estimated that gold reserves in this region are the largest in the world.

Like The Egyptians in Africa

It has not been revealed where the origins of the Papuans are. Their black skin and curly hair led scientists to suspect that they were of Negro-African origin.

The physical form of the Papuan people is similar to the human figure from Africa with the Melanesian absorption language.

Now we can see Papuans who have a more advanced civilization, namely tribes who live in valleys to high mountains, which are familiar with agricultural techniques like the Dani tribe.

There are two opposing sides in assessing the exoticism of Papua.
On the one hand, it is trying to maintain it as a "culture and tourist attraction", but on the other hand it has also drawn protests for "allowing" its residents to live in poverty and primitiveness.

In fact, it is said that there are still pygmies there -- kate humans who are less than 1.5 meters tall, who are thought to be native Papuans.

note: the photo beside illustrates that the Dani tribe in Papua is able to preserve the corpses of their ancestors like the Egyptians in Africa

ANTI-APARTHEID FIGHTER MANDELA


The first Europeans to come to South Africa were the Dutch, led by Jan Anthony ban Riebeeck (1618 – 1677). The arrival of the Dutch in South Africa caused new problems in people's lives in South Africa. Because since his arrival he has placed a superior position, and put the position of society, South Africa has become under the position of Europeans (the Dutch), this is the starting point for the emergence of the apartheid problem. The Dutch then immediately settled it was called the term "Boers".

SURVEY PROVES ???

If we open the data about the most racist countries in the world, the results are different, one "scientist" differs from another, one "poll" differs from another, and the results differ between newspapers, which said America was the most racist, another said India, the one here said NAZI, the other said Israel. And so on, not found a single similarity of results.

What is certain is the same and cannot be denied, the fact is that there are parties who are suffering.

Why do all the opinions above produce different sounds?. Because each departs from a different mindset. There are those who view racism based on economic inequality, some are based on religion, some are based on skin color, some are based on ethnicity, some are based on place of origin, and so on. But the MOST DANGEROUS thing is to ENGAGE a "survey" then CLAIMS AS A SCIENTIFIC FACT. Is there such a thing? logic and a sincere heart CAN DEFINITELY JUDGE WELL.
