Dobodura Natives "Sing Sing" 6
Islands
Native peoples
"Assembly of Native leaders all in feather head dresses kneeling - for a group portrait Papua New Guinea Chief participants in big 'Sing Sing' in the area of Dobodura - New Guinea in their tribal finery feather head dresses" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Sing-Sing Dancers. Tribesmen and one woman (far left) in festive attire kneel with their drums during a New Year sing-sing. To enjoy a feast, to celebrate a marriage, to honor good luck, or to recognize success, tribes throughout New Guinea gathered in this manner to sing, dance, and feast. Throughout the war, these tribesmen, referred to affectionately by the Australian forces as "Fuzzy Wuzzies," befriended the Allies. Mostly, they served as packers carrying food and ammunition to infantry fighting in the jungle, then as stretcher bearers bringing wounded soldiers back from the front."

Maude
"This widely copied picture is of a New Guinea mother known as 'Maude.' It is rumored that women nursed pigs frequently. Pigs were very valuable assets. To squat by a fire, she could flip the long breast over her shoulder."

Dobodura Natives, Women 7
Native peoples
"Native girl leaning against a palm tree - bare breasted" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Melanesian Girl. During his months on the coast of eastern New Guinea, Hill photographed all genders, ages, and types of people. Here, and also in his letters to his wife, Hill documented what his Pocket Guide...explained: 'Around areas of white settlement, calico waist cloths are the useual garment for natives....Women may or may not have a top covering. For reasons of health, the governments have discouraged the wearing of a lot of clothes, especially on the upper part of the body.' Later in the booklet, Americans are warned against South Seas erotic fantasies: 'Natives, however free and easy they may seem to be among themselves, are likely to resent outsiders interfering with their women.' At the end of the Guide..., Army writers reiterate that the most troublesome offense is 'interfering with native women." ("Darkroom Soldier" caption authored by George Venn)
