Abstract

This article describes a preliminary study carried out along with medical and nutritional research in March 2012, in the southwest of Papua, Indonesia where the indigenous people Auyu settles. First, we started our research in Bade, a town located lower part of Digul River and around the town. Author of this article walked around Bade visiting government offices, Christian church (both Catholics and Protestants), Muslim temple, and a market and then created the map of the town. And then, we visited a home of a diabetic patient who joined medical/nutritional check-up to observe her lifestyle. We also observed the process to get Sago starch from Sago palm in the neighboring marshy jangle, as well as Sago cooking at her home. Later, we visited some villages along with Ia River and observed the structure of houses, researched local economy such as rubber industrials and household income and its change, and patrilineal clan and its leadership. Through these researches, we sought the optimal method for the collaboration between cultural anthropology and medical/nutritional research in the field.
