After driving the Japanese out of Papua, New Guinea during World War II, the U.S. military left their gear--and the makings of a cargo cult--to the native Kaliai. CULTURES OF SECRECY offers a close look at how, for 50 years, the bush Kaliai in Melanesia have worked these tailings of the western world into their indigenous culture. 20 photos.
