In Namibia's Northwest, a region with a population density of only one person per two square kilometers. Namibia's Northwestern region stretches from the Cunning River on the Angolan border to the Yugabh River, which forms the Skeleton Coast Park Southern border. The Himba, Plural, Ove Himba are an ancient Namibian tribe who are closely related to the hero. Language, Achihimba, a dialect of the hero language spoken by approximately 20,000 to 50,000 people. They are a pastoral, semi-nomadic people who raise cattle and goats. Women are more likely than men to perform labor-intensive tasks, such as carrying water to the village, building homes, and milking cows. Political tasks and legal trials are handled by men. Their homes are simple cone-shaped sapling structures held together with palm leaves, mud, and dung. In the Himba culture, wealth is represented by the cattle you own during your lifetime, rather than the beauty or quality of a tombstone. Droughts, guerrilla warfare during Namibian independence and the Angolan Civil War, and German forces that decimated other Namibian groups have all played the Himba. Despite the fact that Himba life was on the verge of extinction in the 1980s, they persevered, and their people, culture, and traditions live on. The women are well known for rubbing their bodies with achies, a mixture of butterfat, an ochre that is thought to protect their skin from the harsh climate. The red mixture is said to represent the earth's rich red color, as well as blood, which represents life. Religion and Beliefs The Himba revere their ancestors, as well as the god Nukiru. Because Nukiru is frequently absent from his realm, the ancestors serve as Nukiru's representatives. Their homes are built around an okiruo, ancestor fire, and their livestock, both of which are important to their ancestor worship. The fire represents ancestral protection, and the livestock allows for proper human-ancestor relationships. Each family has its own ancestral fire, which is attended to by the firekeeper, every seven to eight days in order to communicate with Nukiru and the ancestors on behalf of the family. Hairstyles of the Himba A young girl's hair is typically braided in two plates, osendeto, the form determined by aruzo membership, patrilineal descent group. Just before puberty, the girls wear long platelets loosely wrapped around their heads. It can take various forms, and wakes are sometimes worn over it. When the girls have completed their puberty ceremony, the so-called Akori festival occurs, and she receives the Akori headdress, which is made of tanned sheeps or goat skin with three leaf-shaped points and is often decorated with iron beads. Girls in some groups have their hair shaved down to a small bush on top of their heads. The shaved hair is then used to make plates, which are woven into the remaining hair and draped over the face. The aramp headdress, made from the skin of a goat's head and fastened under the hair at the back of the head by two thongs, replaces the Akori headdress after she has been married for about a year or has had a child. Since then, the Akori has only been worn for ceremonial purposes. Himba males also wear a variety of hairstyles, including the single plate, andado, worn by young boys down the back of the head, two plates, ozondado, worn by Himba men of marriageable age, and the ambuya headdress, a scarf made of fabric that covers the hair and is decorated with an ornamental band.
