If you spotted a man wearing a long thin Koteka in Baliem Valley, Papua, most probably he is a Yali. You may capture such image without paying them at the two days Baliem Festival. Otherwise, each image you capture will probably cost you a minimum sum of 5000 Rp. Imagine if you are using motorize mode for shooting, the images that you have shot may cost you a fortune. Do negotiate first prior your shooting. The tribes in their village are very commercialized.
