Description

Tidikawa is a Bedimini spirit medium in Papua New Guinea. He presided over what is believed to be the last ritualized acts of human cannibalism.

The Bedimini did not engage in cannibalism for the sake of consuming meat, nor did they hunt humans for sport. Instead, their ritualized acts of cannibalism centered around acts of revenge against rival villages or as a means of dispatching "witches" or "medicine men."
