Ethiopia’s Omo Valley is thought of as the birthplace of
humankind, and is home to a variety of indigenous tribes. Age-
old customs are equally beautiful and brutal. Beautification and
scarification practices are encouraged as a way for individuals to
establish their identity within the community.Each tribe has
stamped a richly unique identity onto it by holding on to their
way of living: in tune to the rhythm of nature, treading lightly on
Earth, leading their beloved animal herds to precious water
sources and staying true to their traditions.
