Democratic political principles have finally reached the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Tanim—“to change” or “to turn”—is the story of how the Apulin people, the ruling tribe of Enga province, are struggling to balance this alien electoral system, with all its implicit values and practices, with the secure familiarity of their traditional approaches to rule, land ownership, and systems of compensation. Change has come, and the Apulins must now turn their society in a new direction if they are to survive in their ancestral lands. (51 minutes, color)
