Hidden from the modern world until the 1970s, the Korowai people are known for their sky-high treehouses, mysterious rituals, and the chilling legends of cannibalism that have surrounded them for decades. But how much of it is true? Let’s explore one of the world’s most fascinating — and misunderstood — tribes. 🌴 The Isolated Forest World The Korowai tribe lives in the southeastern part of Papua, an area almost untouched by modern civilization. Until explorers first made contact in 1974, these people had no idea the outside world even existed. They built treehouses nearly 100 feet above the ground — not just to stay safe from floods and wild animals, but to protect themselves from rival clans.
