A young tribal woman struggles to find hope and courage amid political intrigue and imminent danger in this interactive, illustrated story for adults. Vivi's story is set against the true-to-life backdrop of the continuing global conspiracy to hide genocide, persecution and injustice in West Papua, a massive but obscure part of the world that rivals the Amazon for biological and cultural diversity as well as significance for climate change. 

Mass arrests, assassinations and torture in West Papua continue to this day, adding urgency to this woman's shocking yet tender story about her love for her brothers, her struggle to protect them, and a shared quest to free their ancient homeland from military occupation and militarized commerce. 

Warning: Brutal violence is briefly described in the first chapter and depicted in some of the paintings and illustrations. 

Vanishing Tribes was created by a collaboration of artists, academics and activists from four continents as a tribute to more than fifty years of nonviolent resistance in West Papua.
