The Myth
Among the people of Kiwai Island, located in the Fly River delta of southeastern New Guinea, Ororarora is a name used to refer to mythical creatures. Rather than identifying a single being, the term functions as a general designation applied to such creatures within local belief.
The name appears in accounts of Kiwai mythology as a collective label, indicating the presence of beings understood to belong to the mythic or supernatural world.
