Where are our anthropologists?

Where are our anthropologists?

From Media Indonesia

According to recent media reports, especially a RRI radio news broadcast on May 7, 1996, an American anthropologist discovered about 120 families of a isolated tribe in the inner part of Halmahera in eastern Indonesia. The life of this particular tribe is miserable. The people wear shorts made of tree bark.

This discovery inevitably invites the questions: Where are our own anthropologists? And what are they doing?

We should be ashamed of our ignorance of our own country.
