African
Tribe Girl
Picture
The African tribe girl in
the above picture can be identified as unmarried due to the absence of
leather hair ornaments and a conch shell that normally hangs between the
breasts of married women. African tribe girls are often responsible for many
of the less desirable chores such as hauling water and tending animals such
as cattle and goats. The African tribe girl in the above photograph is
tending cattle. Many of the more traditional African tribal people are
pastoralists living in arid or desert lands. The reason that African natives
living on desert lands have managed to remain traditional is because their
land is less valuable and therefore, less likely to be coveted by
colonialists and farmers who typically seek more productive lands. The
lesser value of arid lands has resulted in a lower degree of cultural
degradation caused by outsiders of African tribal people living in the
deserts.
