Tsak Rural LLG is a local-level government (LLG) of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea.[1] [2] Tsak Valley has a total population of more than 20,000 people, and most of them depending on subsistence farming. Tsak Valley has four big tribes: The Waimin tribe, the Paukak tribe, the Yambaran tribe and the Sikin tribe which are further divided into sub tribes. There are other smaller tribes too.
