Wearing a rattan skirt, or “polak,” and a cap made of banana leaves to protect herself from the rain, a woman returns home with her pigs and a harvest of sweet potatoes from her garden in the village of Nottomas, Wamena area, Irian Jaya. Like the roughly 80 other Yani tribe villagers, this woman spends the majority of her time in the high-altitude village growing sweet potatoes and raising pigs. In this part of Irian Jaya, however, the land is difficult to work and nature makes human surival hard. | Location: Nottomas, Irian Jaya, Indonesia, 2006.
