The Korowai Tribe - Do they really eat people?

The 'Korowai' tribe lives in the dense rainforests of West Papua, Indonesia. People say they are the last cannibals on Earth. History tells us that the Korowai people once hunted, killed, and ate their enemies or other tribes that attacked them. However, traveller Uma's video makes it clear that they are slowly changing and have stopped eating humans.

A 100-foot-high house and Uma's daring journey

This tribe's specialty is their treehouses. They don't live on the ground but build houses almost 100 feet high on top of huge trees. They build these high homes to protect themselves from enemies and wild animals. To show this scary Korowai life to his Telugu audience, Uma travelled about 250 to 300 kilometres by boat on a river. He spent nights in tents in the forest, putting up with ant bites and the cold. He even climbed one of these tall houses to show his viewers.

Korowai lifestyle & weapons

The Korowai people don't have a habit of wearing clothes; they just cover their bodies with leaves and fibres found in the forest. They use special bows and arrows made of wood and bamboo, and axes made of stone. The arrows, made from animal bones, are so sharp that once they pierce the skin, it's impossible to pull them out. What's more, they don't use matchboxes. They still use the traditional method of creating fire through friction with sticks and ropes.

Food habits of the Korowai tribe

Currently, their main food includes wild boars, turtles, crocodiles, and lobsters from the rivers, along with dishes made from 'Sago' tree flour. This tribe still lives by ancient methods from thousands of years ago, with no connection to the outside world and no knowledge of modern currency or clothes. Uma's adventurous journey showed firsthand that the Korowai tribe, once known as fearsome cannibals, now lives peacefully, protecting their unique culture.
