Read G. C. J. Lomas's web site entitled "The Huli People of Papau New Guinea" at http://www.gabelomas.org. Read the following webpages (which are labeled by number in the series, you can use the NEXT button and read pages numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5):

1. http://www.gabelomas.org/huli/htms/huli1.htm
2. http://www.gabelomas.org/huli/htms/huli1b.htm
3. http://www.gabelomas.org/huli/htms/huli1c.htm

Who are the Huli? Where do they live? What type of economy do they have?
There system of family and marriage differs from the nuclear family model.

What are the traditional responsibilities of a Huli bride? Of a Huli husband?
Are family, kinship, and descent as central in your life as they are for the Huli?
