FERGUSSON ISLAND
A Clash of Cultures
by Andrew Macintosh
Based on the author’s lived experience, this is a fictionalised story from Fergusson Island in the Territory of Papua, set in a period from the 1950s when the Territories were administered by the Australian Government, and a time when Christian missionaries had moved into remote areas to convert and educate the native peoples.
The native society’s traditional beliefs, laws, their pursuit of Cargo Cult, regularly clashed with the administration and Western laws imposed upon them, with potentially deadly results.
These are the overlapping stories of the natives, the Australian patrol officers and missionaries, living and working on Fergusson Island.
