EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases a vibrant and resilient group of the People of the Upper Nile in Sudan. The image features members of the Shilluk and Nuer tribes, who are renowned for their rich cultural heritage and traditional way of life. The women and girls in the foreground, dressed in colorful aprons and adorned with necklaces and bracelets, are expertly balancing large baskets on their heads as they travel along a dusty road or track. The bare-breasted women, with their strong and determined expressions, embody the strength and endurance of these remarkable people. The Shilluk and Nuer tribes, located in the southern part of Sudan, have long been known for their unique customs and traditions. The Shilluk people, in particular, are famous for their belief in a living god, known as Nyikang, who is said to reside in a sacred place called the "Lake of the Moon." The Nuer, on the other hand, are known for their distinctive physical features, including their tall stature and distinctive body scarring. Despite the challenges of living in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the People of the Upper Nile have managed to preserve their traditions and way of life. This photograph serves as a testament to their resilience and the beauty of their culture. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a world that is vastly different from our own. It is a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that exists in our world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
