In this study of the reciprocity of Digo people, we will consider a new aspect, namely that of a society that has had to adapt to a rapid change in customary actions and language due to global influences, especially the influence of tourism and the presence of NGOs. Thus, we will offer a short description of the development of the Tiwi region in connection with tourism and then discuss practices of mutual support that are still practised, as well as those that are no longer practised there . An analysis of the verbalisation of sharing and thanksgiving provides the basis for a reinterpretation of a safe space, before we examine the current realisation of sharing and reciprocity in the extreme situation of the Covid pandemic (§6). Discussing the changes in social practices which have followed from the massive influence of tourism and also of philanthropic aid, we seek to understand the social aspects of practices that describe interactions of exchange, both unilateral and reciprocal.
