Chief Kondom Agaundo from the Narku tribe in Simbu Province

Photo below is of Chief Kondom Agaundo from the Narku tribe in Simbu Province. His famous speach to an audience in Canberra (Australia) in 1963 is as follows:

"In my village I am chief of my people but today I stand in front of you like a child. When I speak in your language, you laugh at the way I speak. But tomorrow, my son will come to you and he will speak to you in your language, and this time, you will NOT laugh at him."
