Can you spot the two Mbulu homes in this picture? This was taken during our drive to our Kidero campsite where we would visit the Hadza. |
Much of the drive today was over terrain that was hard to describe as a "road." The Land Rover in front of us was carrying all our camping equipment. |
Throwing sticks to knock the fruit off of this huge boabab tree. We collected some of the fruit to bring as a gift to the Hadza. |
Posing with some Mbulu boys who helped us collect the fruit. |
These are Mbulu children. They often wear clothes similar to those worn by the Maasai. |
The inside of the boabab fruit. It contains dry powder that's clumped around seeds. |
These are the Hadza men in the camp that we visited today. They were resting at the end of the day, and sharpening the points of their arrows. |
|
This is Asini, the elder man of the camp. He's posing with his bow and arrows, which the Hadza men carry with them all day long. We'll be going hunting with Asini tomorrow morning. |
The women who live in the camp. They all belong to the same family. |
David's examining some of Asini's arrows. |
A typical Hadza house. This family has returned to a campsite that they had abandoned earlier, and the homes need new grass placed around their frames. The women will do this starting tomorrow, and when they're done the house will look like a large pile |
