Arbore Tribe

The Arbore tribe is a small pastoralist tribe that lives in the southwest region of the Omo Valley.  

They believe that their singing and dancing eliminates negative energy and with the negative energy gone, the tribe will prosper.

The women of the tribe cover their heads with a black cloth and are known to wear very colorful necklaces and earrings. Body painting is done by the Arbore using natural colors made from soild and stone.
