Sago Grub Festival
In the lowland region, the Sago Grub Feast is an important event that brings together different clans of the Asmat tribe. After months of preparations, hundreds of sago grubs are harvested and clans attend dances and feasts that last through the night. 
The event marks the completion of a jew or communal hall. On this day, the men of the tribe present sago grub to their female relatives as a token of gratitude, and women are freed from daily routine.
