Korowai

 This week I read(https://theculturetrip.com/pacific/papua-new-guinea/articles/meet-the-korowai-tribe-of-papua-new-guinea/)  about Korowai, tribe based in Papua New Guinea. Their existance had been discovered only about 50 years ago. Up to this day many of them still haven't seen any person from outside their tribe. Korowai people live in tree houses 42 metres above the ground. The only way in is by the ladder.

Aboriginals

 This week I watched a video (https://youtu.be/bpAS5f4TjNw) about aboriginal people of Australia. Aboriginals are thought to be 1 group of people where in reality it is about 400 tribes of people that have lived in Australia since way before Europeans got there, it's said that they are one of the oldest cultures on Earth. They were nomadic people who created tools such a boomerangs for hunting or playing instruments like didgeridoo. Aboriginal people of Australia were met with huge opression by Europeans and then government of Australia. Today Aboriginals acount for just 3% of Australian population, you can also hear only 75 languages, before Europeans there were around 300. because of that today on the 26th of May Australians celebrate National Sorry Day. Unfortuneatly, even though things are way better than in the past Aboriginal people still have very little people in government and many of them face poverty and health problems.
