Rare cultures around the world – Africa MUNDARI TRIBE, The Mundari are a small ethnic group of Nilotic people of South Sudan. The group, which is part of the Karo people, is composed mostly of cattle herders Nilotic and agriculturalists. The traditional Mundari tribal lands are located roughly 75 km north of Juba, the capital of South Sudan, and are centered on the town of Terek eka in the state of Central Equatoria. The Mundari, like other nilotic tribes, are very cattle-oriented: cattle serve as food, a form of currency and a mark of status. Marriages are arranged by the prospective groom offering cattle to the bride's family and husbands may take as many wives as they can support. During the dry season, the Mundari engage in perennial cattle-raiding wars with the Bor Dinka. Mundari live in symbiosis with their cattle; nothing is more important than their cows. In their cattle camps, kids are doing most of the daily work. Kids collect the fresh cow dung and put it into piles, then set on fire. Those fire are useful as they repel the numerous and voracious flies and mosquitoes of the South Sudanese countryside. The cows are among the world’s most pampered, Mundari massage their animals twice a day. The ash from dung fires, as fine as talcum powder, is smeared on the cattle and used as bedding. To largely keep themselves clean, Mundari wash their hair with go urine for their antibacterial properties. They squat under streams of cow urine, which they see as a natural antiseptic to fight infections. Furthermore, the ammonia in the urine makes their hair red and that red hair is a sign of purity in their society. african culture,#african_women,#africa,#youtube,#culture,#viral,#african,culture of Africa, specific group or community, most beautiful culture in the world, rare cultures in the world, rare cultures around the world, culture king, culture definition, cultural heritage,#viralvideo ,#trending, #tourism,#tourist, south Sudan, Mundari tribe, Mundari tribe of south Sudan, Interesting cultures around the world, south africa, south african culture and tradition, the Mundari people
