Last time I wrote about one of the tribes of Papua New Guinea, this week it is time for other tribe which even though lives not far from Korwaian people is a lot different, this tribe is called Huli. It is estimated that Huli have been living in Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea for around 1000 years but just like Korowai they were discovered in 20th century in 1934. Huli boys learn life skill first from their mother until the age 7, and then from their father. At the age of 14 they go to "Wig schools" place where they create their own wig, which is important part of Huli culture. For Huli people it's really important to present themselves well, especially on multi-tribal even called sing-sing. They have won this event many times because of their extraordinary expressing skills and painting their faces with either red or yellow paint.

    Seems like it's fun to be a Huli - wigs, singing, painting. Do they work?

 This week I am writing about Quechua people. Quechua is a culture existing in many South American countries. The most Quechuan people live in Chile and their population is estimated to be over 5 million. Originaly, they lived in Andes, high above the sea level. There, in 15th century, they took an important role in Andean development of agriculture. Unfortunately, like many native americans most of them died out after Europeans had came. Until 19th century, under spanish reign, Quechua culture got change so much, that many say you almost can't call them Quechuan anymore. This day they live farming lifes in high Andes. They practise their traditional fibre handicrafts, spinning woll and weaving fabrics for both domestic use and sale to outsiders. It is worth to mention that their religion is a mix-up of Roman Catholicism and native folk beliefs.
