JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno wears traditional clothes from the Kaili Tribe, Palu, Central Sulawesi, while attending the RI 77th Anniversary ceremony at the Sapta Pesona Building field of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), Central Jakarta.

The traditional clothes of the Kaili tribe worn by Sandiaga combine green and yellow colors.

Almost all of the traditional clothing uses woven cloth, which of course is woven using traditional tools typical of the Kaili Tribe. Then, the next characteristic is Siga, a head accessory that depicts the symbol of the greatness of the Kaili people.

Siga is a head accessory worn by men of the Kaili Tribe. This headband has its own meaning when viewed from the color. Yellow is the highest color that can only be worn by kings (magau) and nobles, quoted from the ministry's website, Thursday, August 18.

While blue indicates the social strata of the wearer who holds the post of governor, mayor, regent, or other government apparatus. The red color can be used by anyone regardless of social class.

Currently in Palu City everyone can wear the Siga headband which is the pride of the Kaili community.

Regardless of the caste of the wearer, these accessories are now available in various color choices to make it easier to mix and match with the clothes used.

Although it is commonly worn, Siga remains a symbol of greatness, especially for the Kaili people.
