| Many Surma women are proud of their body scarification |
 |
| This mother is the artist who does the scarification |
 |
| she starts drawing the design on the skin |
 |
| Then pulls the skin with a thorn to cut it with a Gillette blade |
 |
| It is painful, but she remains silent and moveless |
 |
| some young women do not have scarification |
 |
| This one still has one old lip plate made of wood |
 |
| it looks terrible when they don't wear it |
 |
| We are met by a very young cowboy... |
 |
| Yes, they are covered with cowdung |
 |
| The cattle is protected in corrals where young boys work with men |
 |
| they dance |
 |
| and display their AK 47 |
 |
| they drink directly the milk from the cow |
 |
| they have to squeeze the neck of the cow |
 |
| and hit the jugular vein with a arrow |
 |
| to collect the blood ... |
 |
| or drink it directly |
 |
| The village is hidden in the hills and ... |
 |
| High herb makes the trail almost invisible |
 |
| Men dance with their long sticks with a phallic end used for fighting |
 |
| and shoot with AK47 |
 |
| women dance also |
 |
| Men and women can dance shortly together |
 |
| One just looks at the dance |
 |
| some more are coming but we have to go.. |
