Book Description

Many times the Trobriand Islanders have been studied and written about, but never before has their story been told this way, from the inside, through the voices of understanding and belonging. Never before has such a wealth of superlative photography presented the life of the Kula Ring, with all its joyful lessons, a rich heritage of practices for survival.
