Dapan, the youngest of three brothers, had just begun school. Of his
family’s $240 annual income, $43 will be spent on his education.
His parents also support the older brothers’ schooling. I asked
his father why they make this sacrifice since the few jobs available in
the Indonesian-dominated economy are given to Indonesian transmigrants
instead of the native Papuans. He replied, “We’re hoping things
will change.” Loni Tribe
