				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seeing a new spirit house and much art at Samgik was thrilling after knowing there has been such a long hiatus when cultural interest was not on the agenda. This was a surprise visit, sprung on us by a few guys who walked up to Brikiti, and were adamant that we really must go. There was much they wanted to show us, and that there were people waiting to show us some dances.</p>

<p>And this is Woma culture, so it has difference to the Abelam and others. They had 4 dance groups <span style="line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;">with distinctive performances to welcome and entertain us. There was a new guest house, which also had two art collection within. And there was a new spirit house with an impressive facade. The interior was not yet completed, but it looked like the collections in the guest house were a trial run for the artists who might then work on the interior of the spirit house.</span></p>

<p>In the end it was lucky that we were able to get in there, as the road was awful, although parts were being graded as went went through. Rain threatened while we were there and we had to get out before it hit as there was no way to negotiate such a bad road if it became slippery.</p>
