This is a young Arbore girl, in traditional outfit. These young girls are so beautiful. They wear many necklaces in bright colours and lovely earrings.
This is a very exotic and a small tribe living in the Weyto Valley Desert living in a very harsh physical enviroment. The Arbore women generally wear a large black cloth to cover their heads. They perform many ritual-like dances while singing. They believe that dancing and singing with eliminate negative energies and give positive energy that will bring good-luck. The Arbore measure their wealth by the number of cattle they own.
