La palma de sagú es una de las plantas indispensables de la cultura Mentawai. De ella no sólo se extrae la fécula en forma de harina, parte indispensable de la alimentación tradicional Mentawai; además, los “hombres flor” a golpe de hacha consiguen extraer grandes larvas de insecto, las cuales cocinadas en el interior de caña de bambú o pinchadas en palos y hechas al fuego, constituyen un gran manjar para los últimos indígenas de las selvas de Siberut Fotografía: @albalopezsantos www.rumboalodesconocido.com #indigenous #indigenoustribes #nature #tradition #culture #mentawai #mentawaiislands #civilization #ancientcivilization #humanity #colonization #spoliation #humanrights #mentawaitribe #mentawaiislands #mentawai #siberut #padang #sumatra #indonesia #indonesia_photography #asia #southeastasia #photography #travel #explore #photooftheday #awareness (en Mentawai Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BstelKphXo7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uyxdnbtth8gc

Kukurui was lean, friendly, and by community consensus, a depraved sorcerer. I met him in 2017 while conducting fieldwork on Siberut Island in Indonesia. (His real name and that of his clan have been excluded for his safety.) He was almost 40 years old but had the boyish face of a 25-year-old. He was missing his two front teeth and had six children, all boys. When I arrived at his house to interview him, he invited me in and served me deer meat, a delicacy he had hunted himself. When I met him, Kukurui had given up on society. He lived in a small house, a several-hour walk from the village on his clan’s ancestral land. He had paid so many fines, had handed over so many pigs and cooking pots to his supposed victims, that he couldn’t afford the $50 to send his oldest son to school. When I asked him in Mentawai, the local language, why he was targeted so often, he blamed his tendency to explode in arguments: “I get angry, and then they think I want to hurt them.” He admitted that he got into fights, but assured me he wasn’t a witch. There are others with experiences like Kukurui’s across Indonesia—and around the globe. His persecution is just one example of what human rights experts call “harmful practices related to witchcraft beliefs.” Throughout the developing world, accusations of and attempts to perform witchcraft breed torture, banishment, and even murder. Some of the violence is horrific, but most of it, like Kukurui’s ostracism, is invisible to governments and largely undocumented.
