In an article for Expedition the Journal of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Athropology, Volume 35 Issue 31993 "Loving a Village" Barbara Roll noted: "In 1928 the newly married young anthropologists Margaret Mead and Reo Fortune lived for six months in a village called Pere, off the south coast of a small island called Manus in the Territory of Papua New Guinea . Toward the end of her life, on the last of her seven visits to Pere Village, Mead delivered this message to the younger generation of a people whose culture had undergone a radical transformation since her first visit almost five decades earlier. his is the story of helping a village remember its past. I first heard of Pere Village, Manus Island, and the Territory of Papua New Guinea in 1958 when Margaret Mead asked me to analyze anthropometric measurements and somatotype photographs taken in Pere. Theodore Schwartz, then a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, had collected the data at Mead s suggestion. I was so persistently interested in the Pere somatotype study and the people that Mead invited me to do a follow-up study. So it was that in February 1966, at age 56, I made my first trip to Pere Village. Unlike Mead and Fortune, whose arduous sea voyage took weeks to complete, I flew by jet from San Francisco to Sydney in 18 hours, spent a night in Sydney, flew to Port Moresby on a smaller plane, and to Manus on a DC3 that small workhorse "prop" survivor of World War II. The last lap, a 20-mile trip from Lorengau to Pere, was still by outrigger canoe, but now propelled by an outboard motor. In exceptionally good condition. N° de ref. del artículo 29302
