Mountain Ok

Mountain Ok

The Mountain Ok are a region, language, and a group of natives from Papua New Guinea. Not much is known about the obscure and hard-to-reach group at this time, as they are only reachable by a prop-plane on an ill-maintained dirt runway and no other form of transportation. The valley in which they live is too steep for even mules, much less dirt bikes, and money is not a medium of trade here.

The Mountain Ok is notable for being visited and studied for 18 months by Dr. Michael Wesch, a professor of Cultural Anthropology at K-State[clarification needed].[1]
