Huli culture
The Huli culture is an indigenous group from the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Known for their vibrant traditions, the Huli people are recognized for their elaborate body paint, intricate headdresses, and colorful costumes, which are often worn during ceremonies and festivals. Their society is primarily based on subsistence agriculture, with sweet potatoes being a staple crop.
Huli culture places a strong emphasis on community and kinship. Traditional practices, such as the Huli wigmen ceremony, highlight the importance of male identity and social status. The Huli also engage in storytelling, music, and dance, which play vital roles in preserving their cultural heritage and passing down knowledge through generations.
