Marind's Animism

Image
The Malind Anim are an ethnic group native to the South Papua region of Indonesia. They are spread from the Kondo to the Digoel Rivers. They live along the lower Digul River, west of Yos Sudarso Island, along the lower Malogh River, which includes the eastern part of Merauke, the Fly and Torasi rivers. In the Marind language, words like ancestors, spirits, and beings are called dema.
