You can see that the Woodabe do not all have the same features.Showing off their teeth.A very handsome Woodabe man.A million dollar smile. She seems very friendly!This costume is worn during the Yaake celebration.The Bororo girl who has the honor of judging the Geerewol. She pretends to be shy, keeps her eyes cast down and points to the winner with a half-hearted gesture.He just oozes confidence!This is the winner and he knew he would be all along.With his chech tied in a manner resembling a Turkish Pasha, this man demonstrates his artistic talents.A rather haughty cattle herder.Taking the cattle to water. Each man waits his turn. I think they only water the cattle every other day. They are a breed similar to a Zebu and perhaps do not need so much water.These men came to our camp to observe us, just as we had gone to their camp. The man in the center was quite intelligent. He could spell English words phonetically even though he had never been to school. Later I visited his 'house' which was his bed and his belongings placed under a tree.
