The Hadzabe, an indigenous tribe with fewer than 1,500 members, are among the last hunter-gatherer communities in Tanzania. In this poignant image (Picture No. 10882693), a Hadzabe boy carries the tools of his ancestral trade - a bow and arrows. As modernization encroaches upon their traditional way of life, this moment represents the beginning of the end for the Hadzabe people and their ancient customs. In another image (Picture No. 10882694), a Hadzabe youth sings to the accompaniment of his two-stringed musical instrument, a melody that carries the weight of history and tradition. Yet, in the face of dwindling numbers and external pressures, their resilience remains. This is the beginning of the end for their way of life, but it is not yet the end for the Hadzabe people.
