The Bedamini people lead hard and simple lives in the rain forests of New Guinea. They grow crops and hunt wild animals... and if food gets very scarce they eat other people. But though their day-to-day lives are basic, the Bedamini have a complex mythology.
They believe that in the forest that surrounds them there is a world of spirits that mirrors the world of men. It is the task of Tidikawa to bridge these two worlds. He is a warrior, a medium and an artist.
