A young man from the Huli tribe. This is possibly the biggest tribe in the country and it’s keen to keep its traditions despite the push of modernity. Young boys live with their mothers until they reach puberty, when they move to a separate home and are forbidden any contact with women until manhood.

Huli wigmen are very comfortable in the forest where they treasurers natural spots as they were divine gifts.
