In many African societies, elders have traditionally been one of the pillars of communities. They are custodians of knowledge and values that have guided their people since time immemorial. Although their role has changed over the years, their influence remains vital.

Key roles of elders in traditional African societies:

1️⃣ Guardians of traditions: Elders were responsible for preserving and transmitting the customs and practices that defined their communities.

2️⃣ Moral leaders: They acted as role models, ensuring that social norms were respected and correcting behaviour that deviated from community values.

3️⃣ Advisors to leaders: Their wisdom served as a guide in making important decisions for society.

4️⃣ Arbiters of justice: They often resolved disputes and conflicts, ensuring peace within the community.

5️⃣ Power keepers: Elders controlled and supervised government institutions and played a key role in electing or removing leaders.

In some cases, they even took direct leadership, in what is known as gerontocracy, where government fell into the hands of the elders.

✨ The wisdom of the elders in African tribal societies is a fundamental pillar for preserving the history, traditions and knowledge of communities. Through oral transmission, they keep the collective memory alive, sharing teachings that have been passed down from generation to generation. On our travels, encounters with the elders become unique moments of learning.

This 1920s wedding portrait depicts a married Khalkha Mongolian couple in a moment of cultural significance, showcasing traditional attire and the solemnity of their union. The Khalkha Mongols, who are the largest ethnic group in Mongolia, have a rich cultural heritage. This photograph reflects the customs and practices of their time. The couple’s attire, likely handcrafted with intricate details, includes vibrant colors and symbolic designs that emphasize their cultural identity. The woman may wear a 'deel' (a traditional Mongolian dress) with elaborate embroidery, while the man is dressed in a similarly detailed 'deel', often accompanied by a sash or belt, signifying both personal and familial status.

The portrait serves as a window into the social and cultural dynamics of early 20th-century Mongolia, a period of transition. At that time, Mongolia was undergoing significant changes, as it was emerging from centuries of traditional nomadic life into a more modern and centralized state under the influence of Soviet reforms. Despite these shifts, traditional ceremonies like weddings remained central to Mongolian society, symbolizing the continuity of family ties, social order, and the preservation of cultural values amidst the changing political landscape.

► Cultural Revival in South Sudan: Ponchos and Corsés of the Dinka and Mundari

Corsets and ponchos emerged among the Dinka people in the late 19th C. The Mundari adopted this aesthetic around 1930. The government of Sudan prohibited in 1984.

During a trip to South Sudan in 2017, we understood that these garments were still part of the collective imagination and we decided to start a revival project to recover the corsets and ponchos. Currently, we are again manufacturing corsets and ponchos with the help of artisan grandmothers.

🗓️ From 9 to 17 December 2024

On this trip, we will value both the Spanish colonial heritage (a differentiating fact of the destination) and the cultural elements of the Bantu and Creole societies, which populate the island of Bioko and Río Muni (the continental area of Equatorial Guinea).

These leg tattoos are becoming rare. 50 years ago, many Karen men got their legs tattooed with religious symbols, but the Socialist regime stopped the practice.

We love this image taken by our friend Tanthasindhu during Riera Last Places's prospective trip to tribal Brazil in June 2024. We can observe a Kayapo grandmother painting the face and body of her granddaughter. Behind this beautiful ritual process, there is an objective: to connect the girl to her ancestors and to the Kayapo cosmos. Next step, receive another name from her grandmother. It was a magic moment indeed.

The Ganga Aarti

► The Ganga Aarti The Ganga Aarti is a spiritual Hindu ceremony, performed in honour of the Ganges River. Held at dusk on the steps or ghats of cities such as Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar, the ceremony attracts devotees. The Ganga Aarti is a symbolic tribute to the power and sanctity of the Ganges River, which is considered the manifestation of the goddess Ganga, mother, purifier and protector of life. During the ritual, priests dressed in white and saffron perform a sacred choreography with lit oil lamps and offerings of incense, flowers and marigold petals. Each movement, accompanied by Vedic chants and traditional music, creates an atmosphere of reverence and serenity. The smoke from the incense rises like a bridge between heaven and earth, while the lamps illuminate the waters of the river, representing purification and detachment from earthly concerns. The Ganga Aarti is not only a ceremony, but a community experience where people give thanks and respect to life itself. Many spectators participate by releasing small floating lamps on the river, each one symbolizing wishes, prayers and thanks. This final act connects the devotees with the sacred energy of the river and reinforces the deep relationship between nature, spirituality and humanity. The Ganga Aarti is a reminder of the importance of spirituality and the need to respect and protect the natural resources that sustain life, while symbolizing the cycle of life, death and rebirth that defines Hindu philosophy. 📢 Live the Ganga Aarti ceremony and the Kumbh Mela Festival ► Trip to India 🗓️ From 21 Feb. to 2 Mar. 2025 👤 Guided by @wildnomadphoto ℹ️ More info at lastplaces.com ©️ Videos by Freepik (www.freepik.com) #lasttribes #travelisknowledge #lastplaces #natgeohumanity #natgeopeople #natgeoadventure #natgeoexpeditions #natgeotravel #natgeotraveller #natgeotraveler #culturetrip #culturaltravel #culturaltourism #travelphotography #tribalphotography #people_infinity_ #discov

The baby blessing ritual of the hyena men

The baby blessing ritual of the hyena men In a remote village in northern Nigeria, there are the so-called 'hyena men', who domesticate these animals to use them in rituals to bless babies, but not just any way… We’ll tell you. The hyena is considered the representation of the devil on earth, so it is believed that, after this domestication process, Allah has managed to tame this animal and, therefore, it is blessed. After this, defenseless children, days old, are exposed to these animals, with the aim of granting them health and prosperity; but this will only happen if the infants remain alone with them and come out unharmed. ©️ Videos & voice of @anibal_bueno #lasttribes #travelisknowledge #lastplaces #natgeohumanity #natgeopeople #natgeoadventure #natgeoexpeditions #natgeotravel #natgeotraveller #natgeotraveler #culturetrip #culturaltravel #culturaltourism #travelphotography #tribalphotography #people_infinity_ #discoverearth #exploretheglobe #magazinegeo #humanity_shots_ #worldcolours_people #tribes #tribaltrips #responsibletourism #responsibletravel #nigeria #visitnigeria #tourismnigeria #travelnigeria #hyenamen

The syncretic bwiti religion

► The syncretic bwiti religion Bwiti is a cult or spiritual movement practiced by the Fang tribe of Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon, as well as other ethnic groups such as the Punu and Mitsogo. The etymological root of the word bwiti is a distortion of the word Bo-hete, which means empowerment or release of a fluid. Therefore, bwiti would be that which allows a person to obtain freedom from it. This religion incorporates animism, ancestor worship, and, in some cases, Christianity into a syncretic belief system. 💥 Do you want to attend a Bwiti ceremony? During our next trip to Equatorial Guinea from 9 to 17 December 2024, we will witness a bwiti ceremony in the jungle area of Cogo. It will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of this trip to Equatorial Guinea. ℹ️ More info at lastplaces.com ©️ Videos by @joanrieraethnotravel #lasttribes #travelisknowledge #lastplaces #natgeohumanity #natgeopeople #natgeoadventure #natgeoexpeditions #natgeotravel #natgeotraveller #natgeotraveler #culturetrip #culturaltravel #culturaltourism #travelphotography #tribalphotography #people_infinity_ #discoverearth #exploretheglobe #magazinegeo #humanity_shots_ #worldcolours_people #tribes #tribaltrips #responsibletourism #responsibletravel #bwiti #bwiticeremony #equatorialguinea #guineaecuatorial #descubreguineaecuatorial

The aim was to restore African authenticity to the country and to erase the traces of western colonial domination. The process also involved the promotion of the arts. Mobutu created the Cultural Promotion Fund (FPC) which subsidized cultural projects by taxing advertising, and the Mobutu Sese Fund, which granted an allowance to elderly and ailing Zairian artists. ©️ Photos & videos by @joanrieraethnotravel #lasttribes #travelisknowledge #lastplaces #natgeohumanity #natgeopeople #natgeoadventure #natgeoexpeditions #natgeotravel #natgeotraveller #natgeotraveler #culturetrip #culturaltravel #culturaltourism #travelphotography #tribalphotography #people_infinity_ #discoverearth #exploretheglobe #magazinegeo #humanity_shots_ #worldcolours_people #tribes #tribaltrips #responsibletourism #responsibletravel #rdcongo #africantribes #africantraditions #africanculture #travelafrica

La chica se suma a la danza del chico que le ha gustado, toca su corazón con la mano y, acto seguido, la pareja se pierde discretamente en la noche. ► Viaje a Chad: Festival Gerewol y desierto Ennedi 🗓️ Del 4 al 23 octubre 2024 #lasttribes #travelisknowledge #lastplaces #natgeohumanity #natgeopeople #natgeoadventure #natgeoexpeditions #natgeotravel #natgeotraveller #natgeotraveler #culturetrip #culturaltravel #culturaltourism #travelphotography #tribalphotography
