520    The author of this book investigates a system of 
       indigenous thought that pervades the life in Kayan, a 
       village at the North-Coast of Papua New Guinea in a 
       multitude of ways. The material is framed from the 
       perspective of the former village elder Blasius Jong. With
       its roots in pre-missionary time, this system links 
       different spheres of life and constitutes the basis for 
       the organization of religious as well as of daily 
       activities. Emanating from myths and a traditional 
       calendar, the conceptions of person, time and space are 
       discussed and the impact on social structure and religious
       life is hig.
