The natives of New Guinea and of the adjacent islands [...] are well known to hate white people so much as to reward an individual by making him a chief when he will bring them a white man's head. If he will bring three, they make him a chief of the first rank. The causes of this hatred are, in a great measure, traceable to our own misconduct toward them.
Captain Amasa Delano, 1791
