Woodabe Tribe Masaai Tribe
  • Woodabe Fula
  • The Woodabe Fula tribe is from Niger. The
    Guerewol is a courtship ritual competition that
    takes place annually. In this festival, young men
    adorn themselves with ornaments and face
    painting. They stand in lines to sing and dance
    in the hopes of catching the attention of single
    young women. The dance event is called the Yaake.
    Additionally, there are competitions among the
    suitors.
  • Masaai Tribe
  • The Masaai people of Kenya and Tanzania have a
    peculiar belief. They view spitting as a sign of
    respect and goodness. The Masaai people use
    spitting to convey their good wishes at a
    wedding. Furthermore, when two friends meet, they
    spit on their hands before shaking hands. Even
    newborns get spat on by elders of the tribe. This
    is done to bless the child.

Himba Tribe Mursi
  • Himba Tribe
  • In the Himba tribe of Namibia, the women
    regularly apply a paste of fat, butter and red
    ochre. This paste is known as otjize. As girls
    grow up, they become responsible for their
    personal hygiene. This is the point when they
    start applying otjize. The women practice this
    habit purely for aesthetic reasons. It gives
    their hair and skin a beautiful reddish tinge.
  • Mursi
  • Mursi is a tribe based in Ethiopia. Upon reaching
    the age of 16, the girls of Mursi tribe begin
    wearing large wooden plates or pottery in their
    lower lips. The mother of the girl cuts her lower
    lip in this settlement. However, it is entirely a
    personal choice of the girl. Mursi people find
    this body modification attractive and pleasing.

Bushman, San Tribe (Botswana Angola)
  • The Bushman or San people of Angola, Botswana,
    and Angola have a special tradition. This tribe
    performs a sacred dance that is considered to
    have sacred powers. The healers of this community
    dance around the fire while chanting hymns. They
    do so until they reach a higher realm of
    consciousness. In this state, they get access to
    the world of spirits. The Bushman healers perform
    this dance to cure physical illnesses. They also
    aim to get rid of emotional evil like hatred,
    anger, and jealousy by doing the healing dance.
