Traditional Turkana villagers

This is a photo of a man and woman eating goat liver (Jon and I's favorite :)). They little village had just slaughtered a goat and I was so grossed out that I couldn't watch but Jon was fascinated and loved watching. He even took some photos when they were draining the blood - YUCK!. This woman in the photo is negotiating a bride price for her daughter. This is a much older man that is trying to marry the young girl but it is for his son for when he dies. Different than the way we do it, yes, but the son doesn't have any goats to pay the bride price so the old man will pay it, marry her and then pass her off when he dies. The beads around the womans neck represent how many goats a man would have to pay to marry her.
