The Author
Ariel grew up in the village of Kotidanga, Gulf Province. She could read and write in Tok Pisin before she could in English, much to the dismay of her English teacher. She lived in the Gulf Province until she was thirteen, when her family moved to Port Moresby. She has always had a passion for writing (her English writing skills now much improved). After leaving the country for University, she returned to Port Moresby in 2021 to write the history book.
