Korowai Tribe
Bouven Digoel, Papua

The Korowai have been reported to practice ritual cannibalism up to the present day. Anthropologists suspect that cannibalism is no longer practiced by the Korowai clans that have had frequent contact with outsiders. Recent reports suggest that certain clans have been coaxed into encouraging tourism by perpetuating the myth that it is still an active practice.

In 2006, the television show 60 Minutes claimed that when someone in Korowai society is convicted of being a khakhua (secret witch doctor) he or she is tried, and if convicted he or she is tortured, executed, and eaten. Other unverified claims were made that the brain is usually eaten immediately, while still warm, and that pregnant women and children don't participate in the cannibal act. The last cases of cannibalism were only recently recorded. In 1968 two missionaries (Australian Stan Dole and American Phil Masters) were chopped and eaten. During Christmas 1974, four Dutch families were killed and eaten. The last known case was a killing of a priest and his twelve companions.

Just to correct the nonsense about Indonesian history that polluted this thread.
Sovereignty has never been transferred to the Republic of Indonesia, you can verify the fact by reading UN General Assembly resolution 301 that sovereignty was transferred to the "United States of Indonesia". A federation which was crushed by Sukarno during the next eight months and who in July 1950 declared every other State to be a "province" of his 'republic'. (1, 2)

And there was no vote in Papua, Freeport executives manipulated Kennedy into forcing the Dutch to sign an illegal contract trading the people of Papua without their consent to Indonesian administration. Papua and West Papua are legally still a Dutch colony under third party (Indonesian) administration. All the parties (Dutch, US, Indonesia) were and are in violation of their moral and legal obligations 1514, 1541, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Indonesia also violated it's promise in article 18 of the US deal.
