Huli Wigmen - Papua New Guinea
Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
March 2006
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.

| Humans have recently become the exception it seems. Not sure when it happened but it's probably been in the last 500 years. High heels were invented for a man (Louis XIV) but quickly after they were taken up by women. But ducks and peacocks are the reminder that in non-humans it persists. |

| Hindus??? Indians are either Indo European, and thus related to Iranians, Germans, and Greeks, and thus caucasian, or Dravidian, which are a more distant Caucasoid relative like Semites, Altaics, Ugrics, Kartvelians, or Basques. But not related to Australoids or Negroids. |

Just because there are scammers out there doesn't mean every organisation is... you don't even know which one I'm sponsoring her through... you can't just claim every sponsorship program is a scam, thats way too far fetched. |
