The inhabitants of the remote Trobriand Islands play their own unique form of cricket.
The Trobriands come to life during the Milamala Festival, usually in July or August, when cricket combines with raucous festivities – presumably not what the missionaries who introduced the sport had in mind.
The Trobriand Islands are a 450-square-kilometre (174-square-mile) archipelago of coral atolls off the east coast of New Guinea. They are part of the nation of Papua New Guinea and are in Milne Bay Province. Most of the population of 12,000 indigenous inhabitants live on the main island of Kiriwina, which is also the location of the government station, Losuia.
Other major islands in the group are Kaileuna, Vakuta, and Kitava. The group is considered to be an important tropical rainforest ecoregion in need of conservation. Wikipedia
