The Bunlap tribe are a native Melanesian people who inhabit the island of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. They speak Bislama and French. Their history and culture is passed down through oral traditions like song, dance, and storytelling. The men of the tribe consume kava and hunt wild pigs for food, while the women grow taro and cook the meat. Traditional clothing for men includes waist belts and leaf accessories, while women wear grass skirts of varying lengths. Young boys are circumcised at age 5 using a bamboo knife and healing leaf. An important ceremony is Gkol, where men and boys jump from a bamboo tower.

Bunlap men often consume kava extract at the end of
the day for its intoxicating effects, which are similar to
alcohol and drugs. The juice is taken from the root of
the kava plant and women are forbidden to drink it.
Men have to catch their own meat, which is usually the
wild pigs of the island. They bring it back for women
