The PNG Huli men are said to be the fiercest warriors in the world. But they have a surprising soft side -- an obsession with hair. Boys spend years constructing elaborate wigs.
"It is very important for a young Huli boy to have a wig. That's why the boys go to wig school", explains Huli Harold Hayake. To grow strong, healthy hair, the young men live together in a monastic lifestyle under the guidance of a wig master. Only after their wig is ready can they marry.

The dispute? rather ... The dispute? rather they're African or not doesn't matter. So called Black people or the scientific term "negroid" people were the 1st people on the planet EVERYWHERE not just Africa. I am not a American, Australian, or African. I am Tiamat. Don't let the oppressor give you titles they created

huli wigmen are NOT ... huli wigmen are NOT the fiercest men in the world......they are just primitive and only pretend to be tough in numbers....they have no history...the alewai people from the central coast were once fierce and revered head hunters who sailed along the southern coast of PNG destroying villages and claiming many 'heads'? as trophies as far back in the 1600s.
ol sa actin hadco nabaut, sapos ol stap wan wan, em bai ol nogat yah....

Good vid. Reporter ... Good vid. Reporter understated the symbolic significance of the wig. Also the men don't stay in "wig school" all day. They do tend to the gardens and the pigs. The wig is? also not an everyday wear.
@funboy7979
Okay ... @funboy7979
Okay then get off your technological miracle known as a computer and go live with them for a? few days, and we'll see how long you last until you come sprinting back to the sheep world.

absolutely ... absolutely meaningless, a waste of good? human life..
@cawoxasan
Oh ... @cawoxasan
Oh nonsense. Stop using 'civilized' in nations that allow people to die on the streets and develop? weapons to murder millions.
We are domesticated, that's the proper word and that was done through forcing tribe after tribe into the use of money.

@funboy7979
well, ... @funboy7979
well, certainly more than "some" out there, (ehm) but these actually are already degenerated, or still undwerdeveloped primitives. No spiritual concerns - everything reduced to women and pigs... no, no. But look at Kogi's, from Colombian forests. They have their inner spiritual integrity and value higher things than material. They're different a whole lot. Just like a? difference between Juan Matus and an ordinary Yaqui (:

@85darson Actually ... @85darson Actually they are African. Just like the aborigines in south India. And the negritos in the Philippines. And the Aborigines of Australia. They are human migrants who arrived in Oceana like everyone else. Even on the continent of Africa, there are? tribes which have different facial features but they are all clearly African. Just face it that the original man came out of Africa---these people are proof of that.
@funboy7979 That ... @funboy7979 That would take millions of years... why don't you do that so our? species has a back up plan.
@cawoxasan look at ... @cawoxasan look at a map.. the eurasian-african area is the most prolific ddue to mass cultural integration of all kinds. taling from? northern africa to southern europe and asia all the way to the indian subcontinent! rest of world were idiots in comparison for they stayed in their pure worlds
@Ariashal for they ... @Ariashal for they tend to be lazier, sedentary and dont move as much even when working?
@funboy7979 lets ... @funboy7979 lets not live in fantasy! these guys are even more sheepish? than those in west for they have no choice or free will to pik which master too follow or just choose to be a holdout! but yep in west the tribal leaders are in washington and madison avenue!
