The last of such trading trips was in the late 1950’s where a Lagatoi sank just off the coast of Boera village. Lives are often lost also during these trips. The return trips are usually arduous and dangerous as the wet winds brings with it storms. As a result of this long period of time away from home, it causes uncertainty back home – resulting in wives and partners of crew members re-marrying. The actual trade would take only a few days however the return trip usually took place after 2 to 3 months.ĭuring this long wait repairs are done on the canoes and relationships are strengthened among the traders. Return trips brought a bountiful of sago to last throughout this drought. This trip and subsequent trips were necessary because during these times there was usually drought along the Motuan coastline. With this inspiration, he and his henchman built a lagatoi (double hulled canoe) and made the first trip to the Gulf coastline. Siabo was said to be inspired by a sea spirit after a fishing trip. These winds are called the “Laurabada winds”.Īccording to oral history, the first sailing trip was led by an Edai Siabo of Boera village. After the trade, they returned when the winds changed eastwards. The Motuan (men) sailed westwards during the south-easterly winds known locally as the “Lahara winds”. This is a form of barter trade where the Motuans traded clay pots for sago with villagers along the Gulf coastline. The Hiri Trade expedition was between the Motuan and the Erema (Gulf) people in the Gulf of Papua. See their pictures below courtesy of Loop PNG. In third place and taking the Miss Hetura for 2016 was Maha Asi from Tubuserea village. In 2016, Olive Tau was crowned as 2016 Miss Hiri Hanenamo Queen followed by her Runner- up Boni Bitu from Porebada village.
