Does anyone know this man?
Perhaps no photo captures the native spirit better as we remember!

The man might be Tipai Natkime. His brother was one of the Amungme tribal elders.

By the way, my native friend Markus Dibitau was exited to visit this site and he found one of the reunion picts that is very familiar and sweet memory on his mind but he didn’t know the name of Mr&Mrs whose on that picture.. Would you help him identify and give him the email address so he can contact them….

Hi everyone, I’m new and exited to joining this site. Feel free to respond my comment. I’m more than glad to reply. I’m pretty sure that picture was taken years ago when I wasn’t born. But I am copying the picture so that I can show the picture to my dad. When he identify the man and his name I’ll return with the answer. If I don’t show up then that would mean the man is Tipai Natkime
