HIMBA CULTURE
This himba culture is located in Namibia and it is really far from the common peple. Himba's people do not like western people and that is the reason they live so apart.
It is about the few African tribes that still maintain their culture as they used to. They live basically from livestock. In fact, for the Himba man, his cows are the most important things in his life. They are a symbol of status and identity.
They use the reddish butter to store in cream perfumes that they make themselves. It is the way to neutralize body odors. It should be noted that the Himba never bathe with water, with which personal hygine is reduced only to this.
Although most of the Himba live in their huts maintaining their ancestral traditions, there is a glimpse of evolution in their history. Normally there are three or four nearby villages between which there is communication. Each one of them has his "king" and his "queen". Of all the children of these tribes, about four or five receive the opportunity to study at school with the rest of the children not belonging to this type of tribes. They are given the option to train. Some of them even go to study a career.
