"Masep village can be reached by outrigger canoe from Sarmi in about four hours. It can also be reached by foot from Sarmi in a full day of very hard walking (and crossing rivers) with no rests. As boats do not often frequent Masep village, the people usually walk if they wish to go to Sarmi."

"Our overall impression was that this is a small group that is successfully hanging on to their identity. They are surrounded by much larger, linguistically unrelated groups. They are far away from services and economic opportunities. One gets the impression that they feel proud of who they are but vulnerable in their situation."
