The Himba people are an indigenous group residing in northern Namibia, primarily in the Kunene Region. They are known for their unique lifestyle, which revolves around cattle herding and subsistence farming. The Himba maintain a semi-nomadic existence, moving with their livestock to find grazing land. Their traditional clothing, often made from animal skins, and the use of otjize, a mixture of butterfat and ochre, are distinctive features of their culture. Himba society is matriarchal, with women playing a central role in family and community life. They practice polygamy, and the social structure is organized around clans. The Himba are also known for their rich oral traditions, which include storytelling and music, reflecting their history and beliefs. Their spiritual practices are deeply connected to nature, with a strong emphasis on ancestor worship and rituals.
