Preferred term

Papua New Guinea  

Definition(s)

  • Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a country located in Oceania composed of thousands of small societies, most of which were contacted by the colonial government during the 20th century. The extreme cultural diversity of PNG makes broad generalization difficult, although by and large, exchange networks have historically been the basis for all Papua New Guinean social networks.
