Angoram or Angurum, whatever way it is pronounced does not matter.
It is a home away from home for many people in search for basic human rights
for education and other public services. It is a government district situated
on a Sepik River basin and was the dwelling place for many Europeans and
Germans in the colonial era.
So what does Angoram have in stock for you? Needless to say,
you yet kam na lukm. Angoram can be accessed by boat, using the great Sepik
River or by road. PMVs are travelling everyday from Monday to Saturday into
Wewak and back. Don’t get yourself lost.Kalap lo 2-4 ba yu kam lo Angoram
Ok now to the best part. Surprises!!!!
The people there are so friendly and nice. Trupla pasin
Sepik is what binds them together. They are loving and caring. They are also
renowned for their sense of humour and can make great companions. They are also
great wood carvers, fishermen, weavers, architects, artists, and the list goes
on. Tired lo totok. Yu yet kam na skelm.
Ol meri sepik wara too ya. They are mermaids without tails,
called friends. Not forgetting ol resa pukpuks, the muno marns.
The Sepik River provides surplus of food, animals and plants
all year round. You will never go hungry. Everything is cheap and straight from
the natural environment. It is also a shelter to a diversified life of plants
and animals united in one principle of survival, interdependence.
What else?
Let’s talk about their culture and traditions. They still
practise the rite of passage, initiation, which is celebrated around the
Christmas festive season and is often accompanied by great feasts and
celebrations.
They also have the Crocodile Festivals which are held on
National Events like Independence. Furthermore, they also host Canoe Festivals
for pleasure and enjoyment.
They showcasing of such things are intended to keep their
cultures and traditions alive and be passed on from generations to generations.
However, not all of them are allowed to be viewed by the public as some are
considered to be sacred.
Otherwise, Angoram has a lot more to offer.
So maski westim,westim. Same speed...
