Core 1: Week 7--Warriors, Wigmen, and the Crocodile People: Journeys in Papua New Guinea by Barbara A. Margolies

Rating: 9.5/10

I really like this book.  It only has a paragraph or two per page, with real photographs.  The first half of the book discusses a family from the Huli Peoples of Papua New Guinea, and a few of their tradition, and the second half focuses on a few traditions from another tribe in another area, the people of the Sepik River. 

There is enough information to be interesting and useful, without overwhelming the reader, or making it a difficult addition to a core.
