Lani Tribe – West Papua – Baliem Valey

Lani–s– are another tribe which partially inhabits the Baliem valley. However, their territory extends much farther.

Lani men wear thick kotekas, which serve as a case for tobacco and other valuables. The women wear short skirts made of grass, as well as the indispensable bags across their backs. Men sometimes we ear hairnets, which they color in black. The rest of the decoration is done using bird feathers, especially of paradise birds. Lanis inhabit a smaller part of the Baliem valley, because their main territory is in the mountains southeast of Wamena.
