Ancestral Tradition Asaro Tribe

The men of this tribe maintain a very strange ancestral tradition. These men rub each other's naked bodies with mud until they are completely covered.
In the islands of Papua live several tribes that have always been confronted.  Most of these tribes believe in the spirits of the dead, in supernatural beings that live in the forest, and in other spirits called tomia that inhabit objects and may bring on bad luck. To defend themselves, the asaro dress up with clay masks on the head and long bamboo reeds, in the hands, like nails and go at night to frighten the neighboring tribes.
