The Fore people live in the Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New
Guinea. There are about 20,000 for people who live in this region. The
way the Fore people survive is through the slash and burn farming, which
is cutting and burning the woods to create fields to plant goods and
other resources on; thus this means the Fore people have to constantly
move region to region to be able to plant more crops. The Fore people
have their own traditions and rituals they preform, today they still do
the cannibalism ritual where they eat their dead in order to honor them.
The fore people have their own type of language that has three
different dialects in it. Recently researchers have made an orthography
that way there is a written version of the fore language to be able to
save the language.
