VATWA (ANGOLA)
The
Vatwa are a small minority group that lives in Angola and Namibia. They
have given up part of their traditional cultural identity to imitate
the dress and language of another tribe: the Himba. To locate the
tribe, Dr. Abati's team explores northern Namibia and southern Angola.
There, they find the Gambwe, another minority group of agriculturists
belonging to the Nyaneka-Nkumbi group. Finally, the team finds the
enigmatic Vatwa, who have a difficult time finding sources of
nourishment. They have to eat trees and animals including turtles,
rejected by other tribes as a source of sustenance. |
