I have read a lot seen a lot and heard enough about this. Richard Parkinson went short to an "island" in the st George channel after much tracing starting from the gazelle peninsula. Neumann Klaus carefully constructed the Tolai past but but yet doubted whether New ireland was the source of Tubuan. Alexander B was very technical about my susurunga people that to date I still doubt the purpose of the paper whether it will really benefit my people at all. An American during the early 80s defied the rules and went into the taraiu at one of the lak villages. There were things he was forbidden to publicise, I wonder how much of these forbidden knowledge holds the real history behind the real essence of tubuan as a mask, the two brothers and the authoratitive active female character involved. My enthusiasim suddenly rekindled when a paragragh in the article points to duke of island where several tubuan were purchased by certain lak men to gain status.

Back to my question, can anyone please assist share other articles or info about this topic for our enlightenment?
