:55:01
the Cargo Cult has a temple
almost everywhere.
:55:04
Here is one,
:55:05
with the altar built at
an altitude of 3,000 meters.
:55:08
The small airplane
is at one end of the track.
:55:11
On the other end,
the control tower.
:55:14
The native of
the Rozo and Mekeo tribes
:55:17
wait for some airplane,
attracted by their bamboo decoy,
:55:21
to land on this track.
:55:24
To them, airplanes
come from heaven,
:55:26
sent by their ancestors,
but the white men,
:55:30
those cunning thieves,
take charge of them
:55:33
and lure them
in the big Port Moresby trap.
:55:55
Build your airport too,
says the Cargo Cult doctrine,
:55:59
and wait with faith.
:56:01
Sooner or later
your ancestors will find out
:56:05
the treachery and will lead
the airplanes to your track.
:56:08
Then you'll be rich and happy.
:56:33
They wait motionless,
scanning the sky.
:56:37
There is no other world
beyond these mountains,
:56:41
so the big birds that fly up
there can only come from heaven.
:56:48
ln heaven,
there are only their dead
:56:51
and only their dead
could build them.
:56:56
The spirits of the dead
do not know the whites,
:56:59
so all those wonderful things
carried by the airplanes
