Huli people are hard workers, not TNT

 HULIS are naturally workaholic and skillful and they were and are organised. 

In 1935 former explorer Jack Hides led an expedition into the Hela Huli land and was amazed to see that Hulis were more organised and living in fenced hamlets. Hulis were not living in nomadic ways of life but were seen to have made gardens like Kuk in Western Highlands Province. When fascinated by the way Hulis were living, Jack Hides named Huli land as Papuan Wonder Land. Hides Gas at Mt. Gigira is being named after him (Jack Hides). Hulis should not be seen as TNT.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Hulis had developed most of the copra, cocoa and rubber plantations in the coastal areas and coffee and tea plantations in the highlands. Hulis had worked hard and developed most of the big urban centres we see them today for few pounds and dollars. Papua New Guinea should thank Hulis for their hard work and should not be seen as TNT.

Many cultures in Papua New Guinea have died and are no longer practised them today. Hulis take pride in their unique cultures and traditions. They have placed Papua New Guinea on the world map with its Huli Wigmen. More tourists are attracted annually to see never dying cultures of Hulis. They should not be seen as TNT.

Hulis are naturally gifted in any academic fields and discourage cheating. Hela Hulis now have pilots, engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, lecturers and teachers. Many Hulis are serving overseas and within the country in any fields. Hulis are not TNT but intelligent.  

Hulis are cheerful givers. Papua New Guinea and its government should thank Hela for the prophetic Gas which will ignite the world and benefit the country. For the gas, Hulis did not ask for millions of kina but only requested for a separate province (Hela). Hulis are not greedy and not TNT.
