John Waiko is the first Papua New Guinean to reach the status of Professor. When John and his family decided to put on a dance drama to welcome his return and celebrate his accomplishment, they were met with challenge and scepticism. Johan had little knowledge of ritual and no customary wealth or list of favours and alliances.
