In the morning we leave with half the village in the forest. Korowai perform a way of creating different traps for wild animals. They take out all necessary material from the forest. The oldest men keep eye on correct process by their young followers. Women with children don't help with the making the traps, maybe they give some advice. They watch everything from a safe distance and merrily debate and joke. We have feel that we are with people, who regard their traditions, who have an extraordinary sense for family life, for mutual tolerance in coexistence, ... In conjunction with nature their justified self-confidence stands out.
