But:
Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. As of 2019, it is also the most rural, as only 13.25% of its people live in urban centres. There are 851 known languages in the country... Most of the population of more than 8,000,000 people lives in customary communities, which are as diverse as the languages. The country is one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically. It is known to have numerous groups of uncontacted peoples, and researchers believe there are many undiscovered species of plants and animals in the interior.

It is also a place where 97 percent of the land is held in traditional tribal or communal commons arrangements. This creates challenges for modernizing and developing because you can't sell the land, which means you can't mortgage it.

I'm not done reading the piece under discussion here, but it's a really fascinating piece. Please don't be put off by the lame and vague title. They are probably trying to be respectful. My general understanding is that "Indigenous" is a preferred term, but it's really vague and doesn't seem to mean much to most Westerners (which is another problematic term, but I don't know a better one and I think most people will know what I am trying to say, never mind the inaccuracies).
PNG is just really fascinating stuff and I would love to see more pieces like this one exploring this interesting place and the peoples who live there, their culture and history and so forth. I think we have just so much to learn and haven't yet scratched the surface.
Edit: The latter part of the article also talks about other places. This is not "just" about PNG, but a part of it is about PNG and it's really interesting.
