Africa's Naked Tribe.: Life and Times of Naturist, Beau Brummell.

Product Information

There are a few tribes in the world who still practice the art of nudity either as a form of cultural preservation or as a result of still being uncivilized. They are strict idol worshippers who practice the culture of being unclad. The only piece of covering one may find on them is a wrapper which they use to cover a part of their bodies. The Kambari people of Nigeria don’t see nudity as a means to seduce men. Contrary to this, they believe that what attracts a man to a woman is her tattoos and the style of her hair. In addition to their practices, Kambari people use animals such as Donkeys as their means of transportation. They also only speak their native language. They are idol worshippers who believe in a god called Zum or Nu. The Koma people are mostly farmers and hunters.

The people of Korowai tribe also known as Kolufo do not wear any form of clothing. There is a form of ‘horim’ or simply put; penis guard traditionally worn by people of some ethnic groups in New Guinea known as Koteka. The Koma people practice the act of circumcision on both boys and girls once they are between the ages 14 to 17.They are inhabitants of the mountains in the Gashaka Local Government Area of Taraba state and are descendants of the famous Kwararafa Kingdom. The Jibu tribe of Taraba state was discovered by Stephen Osu who was a Nigerian journalist. He discovered the tribe after a tiring and rigorous 9-hour journey over a mountain. The people of this tribe have disassociated themselves from anything that has to do with Western civilization and government. Their marriage rites include having the man interested in the woman serving her household for 5 years. Within these 5 years of service, he must as well be able to get the wife to be pregnant. If the man is unable to do this, he is considered unfit for the woman as designed by their gods. 4.

The Nyae Nyae people of Namibia became the first conservancy in Namibia in 1998. This was a law for a new resource management structure that allowed communities to manage and benefit from wildlife and tourism. Korowai Tribe people do not even wear this Koteka. There are about 3000 of them and they prefer to uphold their ancient cultural practice and move around naked. Living their lives as they wish in the hills, they are almost alien to whatever form of civilization the world has adapted. Clothing to the Koma people is only for ceremonious activities. The tribe was, for the first time, permitted to make decisions about the use of their ancestral land.
