“…Essa decomposição do termo suscita duas profícuas discussões sobre a natureza do método que o artigo não chegou a alcançar propriamente. A primeira tem a ver com uma espécie de combinação do "etno" com o "auto", lançando luz sobre as produções antropológicas feita por autores nativos ou indígenas, ou seja, que assumem continuidade de pertencimento com os interlocutores (Mourata 1979;Strathern 1987;Narayan 1993;Tuhiwei Smith 1999;Kuwayama 2003). A segunda implica algo como um alargamento de horizonte que não apenas problematiza a escrita mas também visa acessar e dialogar com formas nativas de inscrição e registro (Ingold, 2011;Severi, 2013) 22 .…”

“…The majority of research pertaining to PNG has, for example, focused on PNG politics (Reilly, 1999), totemism (Biersack, 1999), anthropology (Morauta, 1979), ecology (Diamond, 1986;Frith & Beehler, 1998), linguistics (Bruce, 1984), cultural variables of sheep raising (Grossman, 1984), the social process (Leach, 2002), and sustainable tourism of the Kokoda Track (Wearing, Wearing, & McDonald, 2010). The very limited research undertaken on PNG festivals is for the most part from a philanthropic and anthropological perspective.…”

“…There are in excess of 860 indigenous languages (tok ples) accounting for a third of the world's indigenous tongues (PNG TPA, n.d.). The indigenous communities of PNG embrace the varying cultures through visual expressions (i.e., festivals of art, dance, singing, music, self-decoration, and craftsmanship), which are all integral to the ongoing way of life in PNG (Morauta, 1979). It is the rich and diverse cultural festivals, combined with a diverse population and some of the world's most unique flora, fauna, and landscapes, that provide PNG with a unique selling proposition as an attractive adventure-driven tourism and event destination (Abe & Vincent, 2006).…”

Indigenous cultural festivals are increasingly being recognized for their contribution to the growth and vitality of communities around the globe. Such festivals invigorate the communication and celebration of indigenous culture, tradition, and rituals. Additionally, indigenous cultural festivals are often used as a draw card to attract tourists to a host destination and contribute to the development of the region. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), festivals have long been essential to community life and are fundamental in sharing and sustaining Indigenous culture. More recently, local communities and the PNG Government alike are recognizing that these festivals have the capacity to facilitate development of the country's embryonic tourism and event industry. The purpose of this qualitative research was to identify and examine cultural festivals in PNG, to develop a footprint of indigenous cultural festivals in PNG, and explore the extent to which tourism influences the cultural commodification of indigenous cultural festivals in PNG. Weaver and Lawton's cultural commodification model provided theoretical scaffolding for the development of the PNG Indigenous Festival Cultural Commodification Framework, which revealed that overall, cultural festivals in PNG are a relatively unspoiled resource. To date, tourism has had little influence on the festivals, which celebrate, among other things, PNG culture and traditions. However as tourism in PNG gains momentum, arguably a key issue will be the extent to which tourism development adopts the principles of sustainability and, concomitantly, avoids turning a triumph into a tragedy as a result of over commodification of PNG indigenous cultural festivals.

“…A number of indigenous academics and others have questioned the rationale, justification and benefits to be gained from researching tribal communities, including Morauta (1979) and Talyaga (1974). Concerns about exploitation feature prominently among them.…”
