"Growing Up in New Guinea" is a 1930 publication by Margaret Mead. The book is about her encounters with the indigenous people of the Manus Province of Papua New Guinea before they had been changed by missionaries and other western influences. She compares their views on family, marriage, sex, child rearing, and religious beliefs to those of westerners.

your dates are offThese are the highlands. No outsider was there until after the war and then only the Aussies. The Highlands are still the wild west, with widespread lawlessness and crime, in a beautiful environment.

Manus, where Mead was, is an island off the north coast of PNG. It is low-lying, hot and tropical.

I wonder why Obama didn't do that to Frank Marshall Davis.

At least she didnt eat him...There is also a continuing tradition of headhunting and cannibalism in the highlands. This is a deterrent to tourism. If you're willing to tolerate the locals, you can pick up a nice piece of land for next to nothing. There are no progressives up there.
To: higgmeister
I wonder, did Margaret Mead ever really visit and understand these peoples or did she just write about them?
Plenty of people write things about which they scarcely understand.

Maybe it’s true but what if she murdered him for some other reason? Then again maybe they all knew her, and her father, well enough.

May be guilty, even probably guilty. One thing's fur shure, we'll never hear his side of the story.

In a very small village like that, everyone probably knows everyone else very well indeed. If all the villagers instantly believed the girl ... then it probably is the truth.
Good for the villagers.

I really think that Margret Mead did not know as much about those natives as she thought she did. It would not surprise me if she just more or less made it all up.
The idea of the “Noble Savage” is one that the left clings too but it is almost totally unsubstantiated by actual observation.
