The truth about the tribe
The Turkanna tribe lives in northern Kenya, bordering South Sudan and Ethiopia using only water to eat and not to bathe .
The Turkanna tribe live in northern Kenya with a population of about 250,000.This is one of the most arid and hard-to-live areas in the world with an average daytime temperature of up to 45 degrees C.
Due to unfavorable weather, arid land with volcanic rocks, people of the Turkanna tribe feed themselves and their families through the craft of weaving chairs and raising camels.Most of them live in small houses made of wood, animal skin and palm leaves.
Because the water here is so rare, the Turkanna tribe only uses water to eat and not to bathe.So, to cleanse the body, they use fat applied to the skin.The Turkanna also used only branches to rub their teeth daily.
This tribe also has extremely unique ways of beauty.Both men and women of the tribe wear aluminum earrings.Besides, the women always wear full beads around their neck while men will wear a clay haircut.
For older women, they also skew a small ring through their lips.Turkanna tribal women are red in color and they often apply animal or avocado fat mixed with red soil and apply it on their bodies to protect their skin.
With the Turkanna tribe, girls who do not wear rings are not attractive in men's eyes, not even married.They wear it all year round and only remove it when they are sick or have passed away.
Young people of Turkanna tribe when they reach adulthood must perform traditional rituals.They must kill any animal with sharp spears.If successful, the elders will use belly fat and animal feces to apply on the young man's back to bless.
