Dancing with the Huli Wigmen
Uploaded by: mattharding2718
Video Description:
This was a surprisingly not-so-difficult clip to get. I arrived in Tari, Papua New Guinea with no plans or arrangements and no idea what I was doing.
I met Patrick on the runway and told him I hoped to find the Huli Wigmen. He said "no problem" and we hopped in a truck.
I visited some Huli villages and wandered around the area all morning. Patrick took me to the Wigmen's village and introduced me. It took them an hour or so to get dressed up, and then we had to sit around waiting for the rain to stop.
It stopped, then this happened, then I paid them for their time, and that was that.

Have you danced with the Maasai? That would be something to see!
Their dances and bouncing backside grass "half-skirts" remind me of the Papua New Guinean birds of paradise mating and territory dances (for example, as seen on YouTube in the "Planet Earth" documentary clips).
I would never have been able to do something like that.
Also either those tribesmen are really short or Matt is really tall, lol.
Loved it 5/5
