The Fading Himba and Wodaabe Tribes

 Many indigenous cultures in Africa are fading mainly due to lack of publicity. Two such tribes are the Wodaabe and the Himba peoples. This is such a shame as these ethnic groups are full of culture and interesting lifestyles we shouldn't let them go to waste.

 The Himba are a Namibian Tribe famous for their women sanding their hair and skin in red soil they are a humble and wise people they hold firm to monogamous relationships and detest polygamous men.

 The Wodaabe are a small sub group of the Fulani (Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Central African Republic). They hold to old traditions so you can learn African history from observing them. The code of behavior of the Wodaabe emphasizes reserve and modesty (semteende), patience and fortitude (munyal), care and forethought (hakkilo), and loyalty (amana). They also place great emphasis on beauty and charm.
