ATLC Says: Girls and boys are taught to be proud of their bodies. They are encouraged to interact when they are teenagers. But once engaged, the girls wear the beaded cloak and when married also the red hat. Fooling around is then over!
ATLC Says: The beadwork is not just pretty. It symbolises many aspects and stages of life. For instane: when a girl gets engages, she makes a bead jewel for her fiancé.They can keep away illness or give protection.
ATLC Says: The women make bead jewelry and clay pots. And they teach the younger girls.
ATLC Says: Once a girl is married she always wears the red hat and a beaded cloak. The hat never leaves her head, not even when she sleeps.
ATLC Says: Yes, constantly!
ATLC Says: I had to sort of rub a stick on the inside of this thing with wet fingers and then you got this singing sound.
ATLC Says: before the dancing began we were offered a sip of the traditional beer made of some sort of milk. Yuck!
