“A book of stories about mission lands and missionaries.
The Kukukuku tribes, once regarded as the most feared people in the territory.  Now friendly, the small but fierce-looking Kukukuku warriors still distrust strangers in their lands.  Until recent years, these tribes made frequent bloody raids on other tribal areas, their name alone being enough to strike fear in the hearts of other Papuans and New Guineans.”
