The Telefol people are an ethnic group in the Sandaun Province of Papua New Guinea. ==History== Telefol history starts with the "Old Woman" (Afek) traveling through the land that is now the Eliptaman valley. She, as told through their creation stories, founded the Telefolip, the most sacred of Yolam Houses or Haus Tambaran in the Star Mountains Region about 300 years ago. Myth has it that there is an underground tunnel system between Mount Fubilan, the Yolam House at Bultem and the Telefolip exists, and that is how shell money and other valuable items came to the Telefol.〔Jorgensen 1980〕 The Telefol defeated the Telefol-speaking Iligimin people after the Iligimin people razed the Telefolip in the 19th century. The Telefol then proceeded to settle their lands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History and cultural relations - Telefolmin )〕 They then went on to defeat the Untou people, ritualistically cannibalizing the adults and absorbing the children into their group. Once the Untoumin were annihilated, the Telefolmin and Miyanmin would sometimes raid each other until the later 1950s, when pacification occurred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Legibility and Recognition in Nenataman )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Telefol people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
