The Himba people








The Himba people, descendents of the Herero people are native to the northern parts of Namibia.  They are famous for their unique styles and the traditional ways of life.  Typically the women do most the work and the men focus on political tasks.  Their clothing consists of virtually nothing and the hairstyles determine the stage of life they are in.  There are 2 times as many children as adults which none of them spoke another language past the dialect of the old Herero language.
