Cannibal-land: Adventures with a camera in the New Hebrides

An expedition narrative by a cameraman and his companion recounts travels through the New Hebrides, documenting remote island communities on Malekula and Espiritu Santo. Encounters include meetings with local leaders such as Nagapate, village life, ritual dances and painted warriors, head-curing and mummification practices, and episodes of cannibal feasting as reported or witnessed. The author describes screening motion pictures to islanders, photographs of distinctive groups like the so-called monkey people and long-head communities, and offers observational reflections on cultural contact and the ethics of representing indigenous customs.
