the kaluli tribe live in a patrilocal village, meaning that the men are the head of the tribe and belong to lineages of patrilineal clans. the kaluli tribe live in separate communities, which have 15 families and around 60 people, who reside in a longhouse that creates the feeling of community. they build houses, garden, hunt, fish, sing and cook together, and are very close-knit community. each community makes one longhouse centered, and several smaller homes surrounding it in a clearing. a longhouse is a primary residence where all the families in the community reside. more modest homes are similar to garden houses and temporary homes for the wives during harvest time. large longhouses were built with the dimensions around 60 feet by 30 feet, with porches on both ends, made five feet to twelve feet off the ground. along with the people, longhouses are inhabited by pigs, which are used as “watchdogs” because they make noises at strangers. the interior of a longhouse is not separated by gender whereas the women, children, and piglets are not co-signed to a specific space, they sleep in the passageways down the sides. “fireboxes are used for smaller, solitary meals or “snacks,” but the longhouse functions as much as a town hall as it does a residence.” the longhouse is where they have community meetings, meals, and more indoor activities as a community that does not take place outside. when a member of the longhouse is married, their "roommates" contribute to the bride price. after two to three years, the longhouse decomposes, and the residents move and build another community in another area.
