A Hamar man comes of age by leaping over a line of cattle. It’s the ceremony which qualifies him to marry, own cattle and have children.
As for the young man leaping over the cattle, before the ceremony his head is partially shaved, he is rubbed with sand to wash away his sins, and smeared with dung to give him strength. Finally, strips of tree bark are strapped round his body in a cross, as a form of spiritual protection...
The Hamar appear to be confident in the survival of their traditions and tourists have been visiting the Hamar to watch the cattle-leaping ceremonies. Despite increasing contact with town-dwellers, they continue to marry only from within the tribe. Of more concern to them are the tourists who refuse to pay for the privilege of taking photographs.
I am one of them who believe this contact will change Hamar society by undermining their cultural values.
