Bori, 19
Murile, Ethiopia Bordi is still nursing her first child, a son. Her bead pattern indicates that she is her husband’s first and only wife. As with most tribes, symbolism is very important, and jewelry, feathers and body scarification all convey specific messages. The Karo are one of the most highly adorned tribes in the area. Their chief told me their traditions are most important to them; however, he added that they still would like to be a part of the modern world.
