Wola people

The Wola people are an indigenous group of the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. They live in five valleys northeast of Lake Kutubu.[1][2]

The Wola are sedentary and practice swidden agriculture. Their main staple is sweet potato; lesser staples are bananas and taro.[1][2]

The Wola speak a variety of Mendi.[3] Many Wola people are Christian, while also following traditional beliefs.[1]
