Thomas Wapai N.S Wainggai (also known as Dr. Thom) was a West Papuan scholar, political and cultural leader, philosopher, and nationalist; a true advocate of West Papuan self-determination and Melanesian identity. He was born and raised in Hollandia, Netherlands New Guinea, where he spent his young days. He became the first West Papuan to get an advanced education outside of West Papua.
