Orokaiva

Orokaiva

The Orokaiva are a people indigenous to Papua New Guinea. In 1930, they were reported as being speakers of the Binandere language and being divided into three groups: the Umo-ke (“River People”); the Eva-Embo (“the Salt-Water People”); and the Pereho (“the Inland People”).

They occupied what is now Oro Province and the periphery of the area they inhabited was marked by the Owen Stanley Range in the south, German New Guinea in the west, and the Hydrographers Range in the south.
