Solution

The answer is cargo cults. These movements emerged in many Pacific islands (including New Guinea) in response to the sudden influx of goods brought by Western military forces during the Second World War. The local people, who had no understanding of the global economic system, interpreted the sudden influx of goods as a supernatural event and formed new religious movements around the expectation of further deliveries. These movements often combined elements of traditional beliefs with elements of Christianity.
