With independence, and the need for Papua New Guineans to preserve and celebrate their culture, the Hiri Moale Festival was established coinciding with the country’s independence celebrations, featuring traditional dances, the Hiri Hanenamo contest (a beauty pageant), the arrival of the lakatoi, canoe racing, musical presentations, and an arts and crafts exhibition. Further voyages were then forbidden by the colonial authorities. The Hiri voyages were a part of the Motuan people however, it was interrupted by the Second World War, until the late fifties, when a heavily laden and storm-damaged lakatoi was found off Boera village on its return voyage with heavy loss of life. The women keep watch over the horizon at the beach waiting for the safe return of these men, and as the ‘Lakatoi’ appears, the women begin singing and dancing to welcome the men. The festival is usually trademarked by the sailing in of the ‘Lakatoi’ by men who have gone out for the voyage out at sea, the trip usually lasting for weeks and months even. The villager, Edai Siabo, then led the first expedition of the Hiri trade across the Gulf of Papua. The festival itself depicts the trading between the Motu-Koita people of Central Province, (the traditional landowners of Port Moresby, PNG’s capital city) and the people of Gulf Province where the men from Motu-Koitabu villages would sale across the Gulf of Papua to exchange clay pots and other goods with the Gulf people for sago – a traditional barter system that existed between these two Southern Provinces of Papua New Guinea.Īs the Motu oral history goes, the voyage which was travelled on a double hulled sea vessel known as the ‘lakatoi’ was first inspired by a fisherman from Boera village who went fishing one day and met a sea spirit that appeared as an eel, who gave him the idea. The event is a part of the Hiri Moale festival, one of Papua New Guinea’s biggest celebrations that fall during the country’s independence month. Freshers can apply.The final event of the Hiri Moale Festival ended today with the crowning of Miss Hiri Hanenamo 2019, Serah Vani from Hanuabada Village.

Despite the rave reviews, the movie was met with an underwhelming response at the box office as it has grossed just under $70 million at the box office worldwide.

The action-packed revenge movie also features Anya Taylor-Joy, Claes Bang, and Willem Dafoe, amongst others. Twenty years later, the young boy transforms into a formidable Viking warrior and is hellbent on avenging the death of his father and to get his mother and kingdom back from his uncle. Helmed by Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse) and inspired from Norse mythology, ‘The Northman’ features Alexander Skarsgard as prince Amleth, whose father King Aurvandill ( Ethan Hawke) is brutally murdered by the Amleth’s uncle, who also kidnaps his mother – Queen Gudrun ( Nicole Kidman).
