"I want people to reflect on how they look at indigenous people, and themselves." - Mundiya Kepanga

In addition to these elaborate headdresses grown from their own hair, they wear bright facial paint in red, yellow and white – colours chosen to strike fear into their enemy in times of conflict. Nowadays, Huli men more often wear their traditional dress to sing and dance.
