pusms

Pusms, also known as Puhusms or Puhusm, refers to a traditional indigenous group residing in the northern region of the island of New Guinea. Their historical territory is primarily located within the Torricelli Mountains. The Pusms are culturally and linguistically distinct, belonging to a group of related peoples in the area. Their traditional way of life has been centered around subsistence agriculture, hunting, and gathering. They are known for their unique customs, social structures, and oral traditions, which have been passed down through generations.

Historically, the Pusms have maintained a relatively isolated existence, which has contributed to the preservation of their cultural heritage. Contact with the outside world has gradually increased over time, leading to some cultural exchange and adaptation. Information regarding their specific social organization, kinship systems, and belief systems is often found in anthropological studies and ethnographies focusing on the indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea. Their language, which is part of a larger language family, is an important element of their identity. Modern Pusms continue to navigate the complexities of contemporary society while striving to maintain their cultural distinctiveness.
