埃塞俄比亚奥莫河谷 The Omo Valley, Ethiopia
下奥莫河谷是最后一个原始部落的避难所。现在古老独特的文化遭受很严重的威胁。埃塞俄比亚政府在奥莫河谷河上修了大坝，让河水流量减少到五分之一，这种行为将使部落进行农业和畜牧生产的丰润平原转移。专家预测，因为部落利用奥莫河谷河水的传统改变，那么将发生
的大规模移民和不可避免的文化改变。The
Omo Valley, Ethiopia: The Omo Valley is the last refuge of original tribal
culture that remains on the African continent. This is a portrait series
encapsulating the major Omo tribes. The unique cultures of this remote valley
are now in serious danger as the Ethiopian government has dammed the rivers
feeding the Omo river and will reduce the rivers flow to one fifth of normal.
This will remove the flood plain these tribes rely upon for agriculture and
cattle. Experts predict major migration and inevitable cultural change as the
tribes are forced to survive without access to the traditional waters of the Omo
river.

in the Lower Omo Valley, South West Ethiopia. The unique, intact tribal cultures
of the remote Omo Valley are all threatened by 3 new dams which the Ethiopian
Government is building to supply hydro-electric power to Ethiopia's major
cities. The dams will reduce the flow of the Omo River to one fifth of its
volume and remove the flood plain which is so valuable to the Omo tribes for
Agrarian purposes. Mass forced migration and the break-up of these ancient
cultures is likely to be the result. (Photo by Brent Stirton.)

JANUARY 2008: Images of the Beshadar people, closely related to the Hamar tribe,
in a traditional Bull-Jumping ceremony in the Omo Valley, South West Ethiopia,
14 December 2007. The bull-jumping ceremony is one of the most important in a
man's life, and once completed allows him to take a wife and marry. The Hamar
people and their tribal affiliates conduct a bull-jumping on a regular basis
while the Karo people are much more selective in who they allow to bulljump and
jump far less frequently. The ceremony is about hierachy and membership in the
tribe and typically involves a young man who undergoes a number of rituals
before he leaps onto and runs rapidly over a series of cattle held by other men
who have recently jumped. Once completed he is a man in the eyes of the
tribe. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Getty Images.) |
