초록
Extensive research on the Asmat people has not been conducted due to the geographical isolation of New Guinea Irian Jaya. However, it is evident that they possess valuable and unique geographical, cultural, and historical assets only the minority group could have. Due to the geographical characteristics of these regions, the Asmat led a rather isolated way of life different from each other separated by a river. They had a very different way of life in terms of social structure, customs, and religious rituals, and language. The first purpose of this study is to investigate how their unique culture with geographical characteristics which have caused them to live independently in coastal and inland regions due to their isolation, endless wars and conflicts with the neighboring tribes is expressed as nature worship and the worship of their ancestors. The second is to examine and describe their history on how their supernatural faith in nature and the non-living objects have influenced their lives and their spiritual world. Finally, this study aims to consider how not having a language, they were able to express their thoughts and intentions through artworks made with the abundant natural resources of Irian Jaya region in order to communicate with their ancestors.
