Oh sorry, he's the one in the white :)
Seriously, he was a jungle pilot in Papua for seven years, now back in the Uk.
 

Cool, for you son. I'm sure it's an interesting career.

Can't help but notice the fascinating "underwear" on the natives. This is definitely one of those educational National Geographic-type photos.
 
You have every right to be very proud of your son.

I would like to ask about those orange cylinders the other men are wearing but it might sound inappropriate so I won't. It just seems like a loin cloth would work better but I don't know.
 
These are the Dani tribe in Papua, Indonesia and the men all wear ***** sheaths made from a type of gourd from puberty. Not sure why?
When Matt left there they held one of their mock battles and dance ceremony and presented him with two sets of hunting bows and arrows, one for the father who sired this "man who comes from the skies"! They have several types of arrow, some for "man", some for birds and others for mammals with poison tips!
I have mounted them on a wall in our conservatory.................

I have been to PNG and visited some villages where the people shared some of their culture with us.
It disturbs me that the people of Irian Jaya (West Papua) live under Indonesian rule and there is a cloud of secrecy that is very hard to penetrate.
 
A jungle pilot? Just what is that?

I am also curious about the picture though. Are the three black men bragging?
 
They are pleased to be associated with a "big man" which is the term they use for a chief. A pilot is considered to be a "big man" and this is why they are sending a gift to his father, as a token of esteem.
 
So, a pilot is considered a big man, huh? I'll have to show this picture to my wife and get her opinion.

Falcon...That's funny.

Haven't they ever heard of "Fruit Of the Loom" in Papua?

I think the USA needs to lose it's uptight puritanical attitudes towards our bodies and sexuality in general.

That being said, ain't no way I'm going around neked unless I lose at least 20 lbs.

I would imagine this practice is akin to women wearing Victoria Secret push-up bras....beauty enhancement and sexual attraction enhancement? The men in the photo would probably be just as curious about push-up bras, if they ever saw a photo, as we are about their "push-up supporters". That darn gravity :rolleyes:
 
At one of the villages that we visited in the highlands of New Guinea we were treated to an dramatized enactment of marriage negotiations between two tribes. The narrator made it clear that a desirable attribute of the bride was small high breasts. It is a sign of youth. What a pity that currently our young women feel that this is a sign of inadequacy.
