The Wii Towaii tribe of Papua New Guinea are known for their haunting ceremonial masks and spirit dances that give them an otherworldly presence. During rituals, members wear towering bird-like masks made from wood, feathers, and plant fibers, moving in slow, deliberate steps meant to embody forest spirits. These performances are believed to protect sacred land, honor ancestors, and keep the balance between people and the natural world. #culture #tribe #papua #scary #people | Unrestricted Border
