Banna Tribe (Bena ou Bana)

Banna (Bena) are neighbors with the Hamer tribe and it is believed that the Banna actually originated from them centuries ago. The Banna look very similar to the Hamer and are often called the Hamer-Banna. Women of the tribe wear beads embroided on their traditional goat skin. Their hair is held together with butter. Like most of the indigenous tribes, the Banna practice ritual dancing and singing as well as the bull jumping for boys. When it is time for the boy to become a man, he must jump over a number of bulls naked without falling.  If he is able to complete this task, he will become a man and be able to marry a woman.

The Banna are closer to Jinka and we can see a mix of traditional costumes, a well as more modern clothes.
