The Huli are an indigenous Melanesian ethnic group who reside in Hela Province of Papua New Guinea. One of the peculiarities of Huli tradition is that they all believe themselves to be one person– the descendant of an ancestor named Huli ,who was the first to cultivate their ancestral land. The Ochre (Red clay) and Ambua (Huli word for yellow clay) are considered sacred in Huli culture, setting their warriors apart from those of neighboring tribal groups. The upper part of their face is painted yellow, and the lower part ochre. Alongside the body paint, the real show-stopper features of Huli traditional costumes are their wigs. They’re so important in Huli culture that male members of the tribe are also known as “Wigmen.”
