Benga: The Story of the Pygmy on Display in an American zoo Ota
Benga, or Otabenga, pictured above, was an African Forest Person, said to
be of the Bachichiri, a family of "Bushmen" originally living in the
forests along the Kasai River in what is now Zaire. He was captured in a raid
by the Baschilele, who were said to have killed his family and burned his house,
then turned him over to the Zappo-Zap, a tribe of African natives loyal to King
Leopold II, of Belgium, absentee owner of the Congo Free State. He was held captive
until acquired by Samuel Phillips Verner, a Missionary-Explorer from South Carolina
who was looking for "Pygmies" who would come to be exhibited at the
St. Louis Exposition of 1904. Ota's caretakers transferred him to the Bronx Zoo where he was made into a sensation as an exhibit of evolution, residing in the primate house with an Orangutan as a roommate. - (forum) |

Aborigines Protest Remarks Outspoken Vice President Annette Lu said Friday that a vanished race of "black pygmies" -- not the current tribes -- were the first to live here 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. She suggested that the aborigines should leave Taiwan and search for new land in Latin America. |

Africa: Congo pygmies 'exterminated' - cannibalizedThe
International Criminal Court is being urged to investigate "a campaign of
extermination" against pygmies in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Minority
Rights Group International say they have gathered evidence of mass killings,
cannibalism and rape. Congolese regard them as "subhuman" with some
believing their flesh can confer magical powers. Horror: "There
have been systemic rapes and killings on a huge scale," One witness they
spoke to survived the late night massacre of an entire village. He said that everyone
was shot and hacked to death and the huts were burnt. - (NNN

NZ
launches first Maori TV station! (rumored
lesbian) Prime Minister Helen Clark said she hoped every New Zealander
would treasure and nurture the Maori language and culture, which helped define
the country to the world. The government-funded
station aims to preserve the culture of New Zealand's indigenous people, who make
up around 12.5% of the country's four million population. Half of the station's
programmes must be in Maori, which is now spoken by fewer than a tenth
of Maoris.

Cannibal
Victim's Relatives to Visit Fiji  The
Australian descendants of a Christian missionary eaten by cannibals 136 years
ago will travel to Fiji this week, hoping to help lift a curse on the village
where he was killed. Rev.
Thomas Baker was murdered in 1867 at Nubutautau, a remote community
high in the hills of the South Pacific island of Viti Levu. Residents say their
community has had bad luck since Baker was consumed and they blame his avenging
spirit. Fiji villagers to say sorry for eating British missionary - "We ate everything but his boots." |
Papua
New Guinea: ''Witch' hacked to death   A
WOMAN accused of sorcery has been hacked to death and dumped in a river just outside
Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby. The woman's husband and son were also
attacked at the weekend by rival
tribesmen, who accused the family of practising sorcery. Many Papua New Guineans
cling to ancestral beliefs in black magic and payback revenge attacks. Last week,
tribesmen in the remote Western Highlands rampaged through a neighbouring village,
raping women, killing pigs
and destroying food gardens. |
