The Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea Dance and Sing

The Huli people live in the generally inaccessible and isolated Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Their existence was not known to the Western world until relatively recently. The Huli are among the fiercest and most interesting people in the world. Among the many traditions they have retained is the dance of the Huli Wigmen in which the dancers imitate the Bird of Paradise. There is no dancing anywhere quite like this.
