PAPUA
The Dutch New Guinea Dispute 1949-1962
Netherlands New Guinea (Dutch: Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea) refers to the
West Papua region while it was an overseas territory of the Kingdom of
the Netherlands from 1949 to 1962. Until 1949 it was a part of the
Netherlands Indies. It was commonly known as Dutch New Guinea. It is
currently Indonesia's two easternmost provinces, Papua and West Papua
(administered as one single unit prior to 2003 under the name Irian
Jaya). Nieuw Guinea conflict
The Netherlands retained New Guinea when Indonesia became independent in 1949. The arguments of the Dutch government for this changed repeatedly over time. At any rate the Dutch policy with regard to New Guinea was strongly influenced by the Dutch position towards Indonesia. On the one hand the Netherlands wanted to use New Guinea as a Dutch sphere of influence in the region. On the other hand by developing New Guinea and emancipating the Papuan population the Netherlands wanted to vindicate itself as a responsible colonial power.
Indonesia claimed New Guinea as part of its territory. The dispute over New Guinea was an important factor in the quick decline in bilateral relations between the Netherlands and Indonesia after Indonesian independence. Starting in 1962, under pressure from the international community and under threat of armed conflict with Indonesia, the Netherlands relinquished control and a series of events led to the eventual official annexation of New Guinea in 1969 to Indonesia

OPERATION TRIKORA: Indonesia Giant Military in 1960s and Liberation of W. Papua
Indonesia's military strength is one of the main, the largest, and
strongest in the world. At that time, even the Dutch forces were not
comparable to Indonesia, and the United States was very concerned with
the development of our military forces that was heavily supported by the
latest technology of the Soviet Union.
In 1960, the Dutch were
still entrenched in Papua. Seeing the power of the Republic of Indonesia
became more powerful, Western-backed Dutch deceptionally designed to
establish a puppet state that seemed to be independent, but still under
the Dutch control.
President Sukarno immediately took extreme
action, in purpose of Papua recapture. Sukarno immediately issued a
decree "Trikora"; in Yogyakarta, and the contents were:
1. To prevent the formation of a puppet state of Papua, made by the Dutch colonial.
2. To raise the Sang Saka Merah Putih (The Red-and-White Indonesian flag) in the Papua (West Irian at that time).
3. To be prepared for a general mobilization, maintaining independence and unity of the nation's homeland.
Due
to the proximity of Indonesia with the Soviets, Indonesia then got a
help with massive naval forces and advanced air military in the world
with a huge value of U.S. $ 2.5 billion. That time, the Indonesian
military forces were considered the strongest in the southern
hemisphere.
The main strength of the Trikora Indonesia forces is
one of the largest warships in the world's fastest man-made Soviet
Sverdlov class, with a giant cannon 12 caliber 6 inches. This is the KRI
Irian, a giant weighing 16,640 tons with a crew of 1270 people,
including 60 officers. The Soviets never once gave this strong ship to
any other nations except Indonesia. (New ships now from Indonesia Sigma
class weighs only 1600 tons).
KRI Irian was the most dangerous
one of the main ship in the world and its strength was proportional to
the ships America's best fighter, the USS Iowa, USS Wisconsin and USS
Missouri. The defender anti-air attack was very strong, because the kind
had a triple 4-bis Mk5 gun turrets 20 mm caliber, and 32 multi-function
Canon 3.7 cm caliber. Its armored belt had reached 100 mm thick, almost
impossible to penetrate the warships with the Dutch's best, including
Hr. Ms. Evertsen.
HNLMS Karel Doorman in Biak, Papua
Since
the arrival of this ship immediately the Dutch drastically reduced its
presence in Papua. The carrier of the Dutch largest pride, HNLMS Karel
Doorman was ordered to leave immediately as soon as HMS Papua New Guinea
moved to leave the Admiralty Yard in Leningrad to Surabaya, Indonesia.
Indonesia
Air Force also became one of the main fleets of air deadliest in the
world, which consisted of more than 100 aircraft-art at that time:
20 fighter supersonic MiG-21 Fishbed.
30 aircraft MiG-15.
49 fighter high-subsonic MiG-17.
10 aircraft supersonic MiG-19.
The
aircraft MiG-21 Fishbed is one of the main planes of the world's most
advanced supersonic thathas been able to fly at the speed reaching Mach
2. This aircraft was even better than the most sophisticated American
aircraft at that time, the supersonic F-104 Starfighter and F-5 Tiger.
All while the Dutch were still relying on the planes from World War II
such as P-51 Mustang.
For the record, the magnitude of the
aircraft MiG-21 and MiG-17 was thatin the Vietnam War they encouraged
Americans to establish the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics
Instructor, the training center for best pilots known as TOP GUN.
Indonesia
also had a fleet of 26 long-range strategic bomber Tu-16 Tupolev
(Badger A and B). This made Indonesia one of only 4 nations in the world
that have strategic bombers, namely the United States, Russia, and
England. The home is located at the Air Force Base Iswahyudi, Surabaya.
Even
China and Australia did not have strategic bombers like this. The
bombers also featured a variety of sophisticated electronic equipment
and special anti-missile warships Kennel AS-1, which could easily sink
the ships of Western combat.
Indonesia also possessed a 12
Whiskey-class submarines, dozens of Corvette-class battleships, 9 of the
world's largest helicopter MI-6, MI-41 helicopter 4, various aircraft
carriers including heavy transport aircraft Antonov An-12B. In total,
Indonesia possessed 104 units of combat ships. Not to mention the
thousands of the best assault rifles at the time and still become
legendary to this day, the AK-47.
This all made Indonesia air
force become one of the sea and air military strongest in the world. It
was so thrillingly great that America under the leadership of John F.
Kennedy forced the Dutch to get out of Papua, and stated in the UN forum
that the transition of power in Papua from the Netherlands to Indonesia
was something that can be accepted.

Amungme
I was instantly captivated when I learned that there are still
people today in our world who live the way humans did 20
to 30,000 years ago. They are the Amungme people of West Papua,
Indonesia. The Amungme are an ancient and beautiful culture in one of the last
isolated corners of our planet.
What makes their story even more compelling, is that they
had no contact with the rest of the world until the 1960s. It
was then that an American mining company, Freeport McMoran, along
with the Indonesian government, launched a massive copper
and gold mining operation on traditional Amungme land.
As a result, the Amungme people have faced and endured a
wave of cultural, environmental and civil abuse, the like of which they had
never known before.
Today, over 40 years later, the Amungme are still struggling
to gain some control over their disappearing land and culture. They are
insisting on their rights as the original land owners, and if
nothing else, they are hoping to be recognized and respected
as equal human beings.

ASMAT
Welcome to Owus Village in Asmat, West Papua, Indonesia
Headhunting Tribe of West Papua
The Aswat Tribe is among the best-known tribes of West Papua (Irian
Jaya). They became famous not only for their headhunting practices but
also for their unique woodcarving skills. Around 70,000 Asmat live
scattered in 100 villages in a territory of roughly 20,000 sq.km in the
huge southern Papuan swampy lowlands and rainforest. The Asmat were
largely untouched by the outside world until the 1950s and 1960s when
missionaries and expeditions increasingly intruded into their isolation.
To
the Asmat tribe, woodcarving was inextricably connected to the spirit
world. Much of the highly original Asmat art is symbolic of warfare,
headhunting, and warrior-ancestor veneration. The Asmat were preoccupied
with the necessity of appeasing ancestral spirits. In trying to placate
this spirit world, they produced a wealth of superbly-designed shields,
canoes, sculptured figures and drums.
Up the River in Head Hunting Territory
The Asmat region of Indonesia is know for its head hunters and jungle.
For the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia has a lot
of very wild areas. We visited a native village in the Asmat. The people
here used to be head hunters, but supposedly have mostly stopped. Their
spirituality is largely based around their ancestors and protections
from bad spirits. Much of the mysticism is centered on the men's house.
We
visited their village, their men's house and took part in a Canoe
Ceremony. The Canoe is made in secret, then with a big flourish it is
revealed to the village and launched.
This was part of a trip with Zegrahm Expeditions.
Asmat Warriors Greeting, War Canoes and Chanting
Loyal Zegrahm traveler, Marilyn Armel, traveled on our Circumnavigation of New Guinea voyage in March of this year and has kindly shared with us some of her video footage taken during our visit to the Asmat region of West Papua. If you missed our voyage in 2009, join us in 2010 on our Best of Indonesia expedition when we return to the Asmat region in February.
This small Asmat village, a few miles East of Agats in East West Papua, still produces the wood carvings that so much fascinated Michael Rockefeller. He disappeared, in this very area, in1961 while collecting the Asmat Art that is now exibited in the New York Museum of Primitive Arts.

RUFUS SAATI THE SPIRITS HAVE GONE
Every tree here in the jungle is
related to our ancestors. When all of that disappeares, then the basis
of life in Asmat has gone too. And then I wont have a basis myself
anymore...(Rufus Sisumur Saati)
These are the words of a
remarkable Papuan artist, who is living in the vast jungle of West
Papua. His daily struggle to maintain the nature and culture of the
Asmat rainforest is depicted in this documentary:
RUFUS SAATI, THE SPIRITS HAVE GONE
RUFUS
is an Asmat Papuan and a sculptural artist. Out of the trees in the
jungle he shapes his statues of wood, following ancient Asmat
traditions. But his works also contain important messages for the
future: the importance of maintaining the delicate balance in nature,
and of maintaining the meaningful values of the Asmat culture. As an
artist, these are the ideas he wants to pass on to next generations.
RUFUS
SISUMUR SAATI: from an Asmat point of view , life is a circel, instead
of a line. During the Feast of the Spirits the spirit of the deceased
SAATI enters the body of Rufus Sisumur. Only a few decades ago Saati was
one of the most notorious headhunters of the big Pomatsj river. Rufus
tribe believes Saati has returned to Asmat, embodied by Rufus Sisumur.
In the same way Saati once lead the people in their wars, Rufus is
leading his people in the battle against the destruction of the
rainforest: against the commercial lumbering in the area.
LONG HOUSE
The Long House is the focal point of most villages in South-East Asia. The Asmat village of Kaimo in South-East West Papua is no exception.
Meeting with Leo Bewerpitsj
In 2001 I met with Leo Bewerpitsj, one of the two guides that helped
Michael Rockefeller and Rene Wassing collect Asmat Art along the coast
of Southern West Papua.
Michael misteriously disappeared after the
boat they were traveling on capsized in the rough waters off Agats,
Asmat main village.
An extensive search, financed by Nelson Rockefeller, Michael's father, could not find any traces of him.
He
may have reached the shore and been captured by then still active head
hunters or more probably attacked by sharks/crocodiles.

2011, the Yali held the Yubileum, or Jubilee: they celebrated fifty
years since the coming of the Gospel to their tribe, and fifty years of
its transformational impact on their society. This video captures some
of the highlights of that celebration, as well as the Holuwon Yalis'

BIAK
Irian Jaya: The Biak Massacre - Indonesia
November 1998
We show evidence of the Indonesian military's murder of
civilians in July 1998, who dared to support the Free West Papua
movement.
Since Indonesia took control of Irian Jaya in the
mid-1960s, people in Biak have dreamt of independence. Many support the
OPM -- the rag-tag 'Free West Papua' guerrillas. But with their homemade
weapons and rusting rifles, they have posed a limited threat to the
Indonesian military. Yet in July, emboldened by the fall of Suharto,
people in Biak raised the OPM's flag -- with tragic consequences.
Displaying his wounds to the camera this man recalls the nightmare: "We
heard the forces coming up...in front of us there were six bodies, all
with bullet wounds. There was blood everywhere." Secret videotape shows
those walls peppered with bullets with personal belongings scattered
everywhere. Business consultant, Rebecca Casey remembers the gunfire.
But the worst atrocity may have occurred at sea. The OPM claim that over
100 people were herded onto Indonesian ships. There are stories of
rape, torture and murder with the bodies being thrown into the sea.
Indonesian officials deny it occurred claiming bodies that washed ashore
were victims of the massive tidal wave that struck 11 days later. But
from the people of Biak there are plenty of witnesses who attest to a
brutal massacre.

cycle from clearing off the old brush and weeds from a fallow field to
planting, harvesting, cooking and eating. Sweet potatoes make up 90% of
their diet. The Dani have dozens of different names for varieties of
sweet-potatoes.
Pigs have been introduced by the British and have
become a part of the ecological system, plowing up the soil in search
of food and fertilizing it by their droppings.
