Description: Annual Baliem Valley Festival in which all the tribes of the highlands of Wamena such as Dani, Lani and the Yali participate. They compete in various categories, such as cooking in the earth pit, making traditional objects, playing the Jew's harp, archery, spear throwing, pig racing, etc. An important point of competition is the performance of a tribal war with spears, bows and arrows. These competitions are intended to reduce the tensions and conflicts that still exist between the tribes.
