About the blogger https://www.wewo.name/
I am Wewo, or Wewa, from the Highlands of the Isle of New Guinea, Melanesia, in the South Pacific Region.
Wewo is my highland identity:
Wewo means steadfastly move forward without stepping or turning back. Wewa means you are just nobody.
Kotokay means the roof of small house on a traditional boat in Melanesia. This is my coastal name:
As the roof of small house of the Melanesian boat, I am responsible to become the mouthpiece of all tribes across Melanesian villages and islands, as well as letting my people know about how to face foreign influences and communicate in interactions with outsiders.
Wewo means someone or something that does not count anything of and to himself/ herself/ itself, but will surrender to the play and dance of this life.
This name was given by my room-mate at missionary boarding house in Sentani, West Papua.
Wewo has no interest of his/her/ its own self.
Wiwa in Lani language means “foolish”, do not know anything about anything. This name was given by my mother.
“Kotokay” in Tanna Island of Vanuatu means “roof”, the roof of the house that protects the house from rain, sun and from any other spirits, for the safety and wellbeing of the inhabitants.
Wewo Kotokay” means I am not more than just a servant! I have no other interest than to function as the protector of my house: my clan, my ethnic-group and my race as well as my village, my island and my world.
Melanesia is my identity, Melanesian system is my way of understanding, expressing and living this life and Melanesian Way is the life and living way for all communities of beings.
My motto is: To be born is to die!
This displays a very simple joyful Melanesian person’s life, without long term future plans, without worrying so much about this life, totally accept the matter of truth that everybody is born to die.
I have travelled in this life as far as World 4, and I am looking forward to World 5. The conservation work based on Melanesian Way that I am proposing here is the conservation to get me into World 5, the world where modernized world and tribalized community meet, the intersection of World 1, World 2, World 3 and World 4..
I started my life as a child in World 1, the world I was born into, the tribal / traditional world, where everything is local: from thinking, seeing, eating, to every aspect of life ….
My first entry into what I call World 2 happened exactly in July 1980 when I was sent by missionaries out from my own village into a different village into the lowland, where we share the same race, the same island, but different ethnic group, different staple food, different staple food and different way of life.
My introduction to World 3 happened in 1994, when I was first introduced to what the world knows as “Java Island”, into an island belongs to Indonesian country, Java tribe and culture.
Then I knew World 4 beginning with meeting anarchist-beggars on the Street at London Underground, United Kingdom of Great Britain.
My life in Four Worlds have taught me enough lessons to come to conclusions that The Melanesian Way is the way forward for what humanity hopes as “happiness”, and “fullness” in life.
I have come to know when I began interacting in World 4 that my World 1 was the best world I had ever experienced in life, and therefore I have to go back to World 1.
