I grew up in Port Moresby in the 80s, It was relatively safe to walk around during the day (as a kid!) and drive around (doors locked) at night. To give you an idea of how dangerous it is now, at the height the Iraq war Port Moresby was considered the 2nd most dangerous place for foreigners outside of Bagdad. Places I used to walk around by myself as a kid are now no go zones. That includes Koki Market where you were, Idlers Bay, Boroko, Gerehu (I lived there in the early 80s).

I don't know anything specifically about them, but tribes in general operate on the same systems. Tribes in PNG still solve their differences through tribal wars. Payback is cultural, as is sorcery and witchcraft killings.

Port Moresby in 70s and 80s was quite safe to work around. I went to St Joseph school in Boroko. Our family owned a shop in Boroko and sometime we walked to our shop after finished school. Quite a few expats children walked back to home after school finished. Lots of people in Koki Market are is still quite safe to go. I left Port Moresby in the early 90s, the crime rate start to get worst. I think this is due to many people from other parts of PNG come to Port Moresby for work and unfortunately there were not many jobs available in Port Moresby, thus there is quite a lots of unemployed people around.

I worked in POM in 2012-13 and the first place I lived was Koki, within a day or so of arriving a dude took his wifes head at the market with a bush knife because he thought she had been cheating, by the time I left I knew that was just another day in Moresby. I later moved to Lawes Rd above Ela Beach and I have to say from the more recent videos I've seen it's looking way nicer. I lived in one other compound but damned if I can remember the address. Finally although there a places you can safely walk during the day I don't know if I'd call you brave or stupid, especially wandering around with a GoPro, I'd certainly call you lucky.
