Huli Wigman - Papua New Guinea
Kaluli | Mount Bosavi, Southern Highlands province, The Highlands | Papua New Guinea, 2017
In the villages, Kaluli people live in longhouse communities. The longhouse is a wooden structure measuring around 40 by 10 metres, built on poles at the centre of the village. Approximately 15 families – up to 90 people – can live in a single longhouse. Nowadays, families are increasingly living in separate houses, using the longhouse for communal
purposes such as festivities and ceremonies.

The JNF supports Indigenous communities in preserving and passing on their traditional heritage and knowledge by investing in reciprocity and educational projects.
