People have invaded and recolonized each other's lands since before recorded history and so the division between indigenous and non-indigenous is a matter of judgement.
Lumping indigenous people into one group ignores the vast amount of diversity among them and at the same time imposes a uniform identity on them, which may not be historically accurate.
It is rare to find a country which has many tribal groups in a globalised world today. In a world where globalisation is changing very part of every country, it is difficult to still preserve the native culture of the place. Although globalisation has also taken place in PNG, the rural areas still remain unchanged. The main part of PNG that is more advanced now is the capital city, Port Moresby.
It is highly recommended that you visit this country to experience the vast and unique culture!
