The airstrip built at Welyio impinges upon a site sacred to Kuwene Nakeye and other women in the village. This place was used for ceremonies to bring strength to new babies; "My mother did this to me when I was a young baby and at the moment it is being disturbed and I'm worried. When I saw the first foresters come into the village, I was shocked. They came in and started operating on my land, damaging sacred sites and medicine trees. For damages of my cultural sites and medicines they have to compensate me - they refused, they said they had no money. I never knew English or Pidgin to talk to them, I told the educated boys to tell them to stop. I never signed any papers, I've always been against the company. Men came out from the lady's womb, came to the world and in our world. Lady's have the right to talk to their own lands. I survive from my land. If I don't have my land, I won't be living in this world."Locations:Oceania-Papua New Guinea-Western ProvinceDate:1 Aug, 2003Credit:© Greenpeace / Sandy ScheltemaMaximum size:3301px X 2235pxKeywords:Day-Forests (campaign title)-Grass-Indigenous People-KWCI (GPI)-One person-Outdoors-Tribal dresses-Tropical rainforests-WomenShoot:Logging Documentation in Papua New GuineaDocumentation the rainforest, the wildlife and the indigenous people in different areas of the Western Province, threatened by destructive logging.
