Human contact with the [[New Guinea]] mainland has extended through the past 50,000 years, and scientists have found evidence of human settlement 12,000 to 15,000 years ago near [[Simbai]]. In the past 6,000 years [[sailor]]s ultimately originating from around [[Taiwan]] or the [[Malay Archipelago]] have traversed this area, leaving their mark in the [[Austronesian]] languages which are unevenly distributed along the coastline amongst the Papuan language villages.

The [[Yabob]] and [[Bilibil people|Bilibil]] people used big sailing canoes to trade their pots from [[Karkar Island]] to western [[Morobe, Papua New Guinea|Morobe]]. They were part of the [[Vitiaz Strait]] trade network. [[Bundi, Papua New Guinea|Bundi]] was the centre of trade between [[Astrolabe Bay]] and the Highlands. Trade involved [[animal shell|shell]]s, [[salt]], [[clay pots]] and wooden [[bowl (vessel)|bowl]]s from the [[lowland]]s and stone [[axe]]s, [[feather]]s and women from the [[Asaro Valley|Asaro]], [[Simbu Valley|Simbu]] and [[Jimi Valley|Jimi]] valleys.

==Geography==
[[Image:Südseestrand.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Beach in Madang Province]]Madang Province is a large region approximately 300 kilometres long and 160 kilometres wide with four large and many small offshore [[island]]s. The province totals 29,000 square kilometres and has a [[population]] of 365,106 (2000 census). The province shares land borders with [[East Sepik Province|East Sepik]] to the west, [[Enga Province|Enga]], [[Western Highlands Province|Western Highlands]], and [[Jiwaka Province|Jiwaka]] to the southwest, [[Chimbu Province|Chimbu]] and [[Eastern Highlands Province|Eastern Highlands]] to the south, and [[Morobe Province|Morobe]] to the southeast.

To the south lies the [[Bismarck Range]] with heights ranging over 4,000 metres. [[Mount Wilhelm]], PNG's tallest mountain at 4509m, being found in those ranges. Also in the south, the [[Ramu Valley]] separates the Bismarck Range from the [[Finisterre Range]] to the south east of the province. The mountains are [[timber]] rich with large stands of trees and [[rainforest]], whilst the [[coastal plain]] of the vallery is open and studded with [[palm tree]]s.

The [[Bismarck Sea]] laps the northern coast of the region is fed by the larger [[Ramu River|Ramu]], [[Sogeram River|Sogeram]], [[Gogol River|Gogol]] and [[Malas River]]s.

Offshore islands in the sea are, in some cases, volcanic, with [[Karkar Island|Karkar]], [[Bagabag (Papua New Guinea)|Bagabag]] and [[Manam]] being notable. In 2004/2005 the population of Manam Island was evacuated due to an eruption of the volcano. Bagabag and Karkar have had no major volcanic activities in recent years. This active volcanic region is part of the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]] and has created crater [[lake]]s, smoking [[volcanic cones]] and [[black sand]] [[beaches]].

The Madang province receives ample [[rainfall]] (3.2 metres in Madang itself) with the months of November to June being the wettest.

==People and culture==

Due to changes caused by outside contact over the years, the cultural loss has been great, but isolation of many groups has caused that rate of change to be diversely uneven. Because of the [[Natural environment|environment]]al diversity, this province also has a very diverse culture as well. Tall, lithe coastal people from [[Karkar Island]], short nuggety highlands men from [[Simbai]] and river people from the Ramu.

Many Madang area [[costumes]] include [[bamboo]] frames decorated with the very common [[cockatoo]] and [[parrot]] feathers as [[birds of paradise]] are relatively uncommon. The Ramu people are prolific carvers, and the lower Ramu has cultural links with the villages of the artistically diverse [[Sepik River]] region. The resurgence of cultural festivals (i.e. [[Maborasa Festival]]) has seen many people donning the dress, feathers and paints of their [[ancestors]].

Foods eaten include those grown in fertile coastal [[garden]]s, [[shellfish]] and [[fish]], [[fruit]], [[green vegetables]], [[banana]]s, [[taro]], [[sweet potato]] and [[yam (vegetable)|yams]] which relish dry [[soil]]s. [[Sago]] is a staple of the Ramu river people especially in its lower reaches. The [[mountain people]] have very good gardens with excellent produce.

===Languages===
There are 173 regional languages spoken in Madang Province, some of them being extremely different from the others. There is a large number of very small language groups, many with fewer than 1,000 people.

Austronesian sailors settled on this coast some 5 to 6,000 years ago and the languages of these intrepid but largely unknown sailors are found along the coast of the province, such as [[Lukep]], [[Gedaged]], [[Manam language|Manam]], and [[Bilibil language|Bilbil]]. Inland, non-Austronesian [[Papuan languages]] like [[Katiati]], [[Hinihon]], and [[Maia language|Saki]] predominate. The Ramu river languages include [[Gamei]], Giri, [[Tangu language|Tangu]], [[Romkun]], and [[Igana language|Igana]], and the [[Rai Coast]] languages include [[Somau Garia]] and [[Usino]]. [[Karkar Island]] is unusual in that it has speakers of the Papuan language [[Waskia language|Waskia]] and the Austronesian language [[Takia language|Takia]].

==Economy==
Madang Province is PNG's third leading producer of [[Cocoa bean|cocoa]] and [[copra]] and second producer of [[cattle]]. [[Ramu Sugar]], Coconut Oil Production Manang Ltd and [[Jant/Gogol]] woodchip mill are amongst PNG's biggest employers. Most areas are still far from transport and undeveloped. In Madang Province, 173 regional languages are spoken, some of them being extremely different from the others.

There are widespread coconut palm plantations on the coast and cardamum is grown in Madang.

The [[Kulili plantation]] is the second largest of [[Karkar Island]]'s twelve plantations and has more than a thousand coconut palms and cocoa trees. These trees can grow in the same soil due to vast height differences. 70% of the cocoa and 50% of the copra produced in Madang Province comes from Karkar.
