Beste allemaal , Dear all, Op YouTube is nu de film die mijn vriend Yohanes Buyi uit de Asmat in 2011 maakte te zien dank zij de hulp van Klaas Schoof: On YouTube now you can see the film that my friend from the Asmat Yohanes Buyi made in 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZYEdQ6EZxs On the 11th of may 2011 a large group of men from the Asmat village Uwus went to the forest to cut sago trees for the end of the sagoworm ceremony 6 weeks later. After cutting the trees they remove the bark and make notches so that the sago beetles can easily put their eggs in the trunk. Six weeks later the sagoworms from the eggs are big enough to harvest and will be eaten during the end of the ceremony in the mens house. After cutting the trees the people eat the soft white top of the trunk uncooked. As the forest was badly accessible for me, my asmat friend Yohanes Buyi advised me to stay in the village, I gave him my camera and so he made this film what made it special because now the men felt more relaxed, it was a much more initimite situation.. It is interesting and heartwarming to see how harmoniously the men work together without anyone in charge. No one's supervising but everything that needs to be done gets done. Some men are smoking, while others are performing extremely hard labour. No one's complaining. Met vriendelijke groet, Wim van Oijen. With kind regards, Wim van Oijen.
