New York, Macmillan, 1971. 520 "Edited film produced and distributed by Excelsior Picture Corporation was shot in the course of the Cotlow New Guinea expeditions in 1958 and 1959 to the Australian territory of Papua New Guinea and West Irian, Dutch New Guinea (Irian Djaja). The expedition visits a number of patrol posts in the territories and accompanies various Australian and Dutch district patrol officers on their circuit. In the Mount Hagen area the expedition films a murder trial presided over by the patrol officer and practices associated with the lamentation of the dead. Sequences include a Dani pig feast (Balim Valley) and a mock raid by the Kukukuku who also display courtship rituals and the mummification of dead relatives. Film concludes with a major sing-sing (probably the "Hagen Show") at which Aiome Pygmies, the "mudmen" of the Asaro River region, and Minj, Enga, Hageners, Chimbu, and Goroka peoples ceremonially display themselves"--National Anthropological Archives. 590 PFA 3500-01-2051. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: May 18, 2005 color is completely faded and pink; scratched. 590 PFA 3500-01-1974. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: May 18, 2005 color is completely faded and pink; scratched. 650 0 Ethnology|zNew Guinea. 650 0 Dani (New Guinean people) 651 0 Sepik River Valley (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea) |xDescription and travel. 655 7 Anthropological works.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works|2mim 655 7 Features.|2mim 700 1 Cotlow, Lewis,|d1898- 700 1 Wood, Francis C.,|cJr. 700 1 Whiteman, Bede. 700 1 Fuchs, Herman. 710 2 Excelsior Pictures Corp. 935 GLADN151844409 956 20140224|bPFA migration/merge load 957 OCLC xref loaded 20140309 994 02|bCUY
