Ovambo people are farmers living in Angola.
They build high wooden faces around their villages to protect from elephant attacks. They are different from the Himba as their culture is more influenced by the western one. Indeed they are christian and their children go to school.

Surma people like to wear some western clothes, like hats. the day i left the village, i gave a lot of clothes ( i must say that they also asked a lot!) and it was interesting to see the chiefs keeping the best for them , and giving the less interesting to the young warriors. So most of the time, you'll cross some nude warriors with only a Nike cap in the middle of nowhere...

Giay people are an ethnic minority living in northern Vietnam close to the chinese border (in the Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Lai Chau, and Cao Bang Provinces). It is supposed that there are from 38,000 to 56,000 of them living in Vietnam. Another 6,500 live in northern Laos and 300,000 more live in the original lands of the Giay in China. The Giay in Vietnam and Laos probably left Chine 200 years ago to escape war and ethnic violence. Giay people speak the Buyei language. Giay is the name they give to themselves. Neighboring Tribal peoples call them Giang, while the Vietnamese call them Nhang. Most Giay are farmers living in scattered villages in four of the northern provinces of Vietnam. Every family owns land to plant rice, maize, sweet potatoes, cassava, gourds, and vegetables. They use buffaloes for plowing, horses as beasts of burden, and poultry for meat and sacrificial offerings. The villages are not all in one region, but scattered around in areas occupied by other ethnic groups. The Giay villages are very crowded, containing hundreds of households. Houses are built on stilts or on level ground. The central bay of the house serves as a place for receiving guests and for the ancestor altar. Patriarchal customs rule Giay families. The children take on the family name of their father. The family of a young man usually seeks a marriage for their son. During pregnancy, Giay women must obey certain taboos and a special altar is set up for the delivery. Every family has land where they raise their food and animals. Like most other minority groups in Vietnam, practice ethnic religions. They worship a multitude of gods that are associated with the earth, water, fire, and famous ancestors. They also worship various spirits. Most villages have local temples for worship. Each year the Giay celebrate their anticipated harvest in a festival called Roong Pooc, on the snake day of the first lunar month. .The Giay practice ancestor worship mixed with animism. Each village has a part of the forest, called ma doong xia ("sacred forest"), that is shared by all and considered to be sacred land. The largest tree in the forest is thought to be home of the chief spirit and careful attention is paid to worship at the tree twice a year to appease the spirits for protection.

Shield painted by Madau Musup, also known as Sadit Gia, or Grandfather of Gia. Madau is the nephew of Tama Belasap. Berawan shields were part of the battle dress of the Berawan, and are nowadays used in a smaller form for dances and decoration. Formerly, they were an essential part of combat and warfare, and often decorated with hair of the enemy: 'The two surfaces of almost all Kenyah shields are covered with elaborate designs picked out in colours, chiefly red and black. The designs are sketched out on the wood with the point of a knife, and the pigment is applied with the finger and a chisel-edged stick.
The principal feature of the designs on the outer surface is in all cases a large conventionalised outline of a face with large eyes, indicated by concentric circles in red and black, and a double row of teeth with two pairs of canines projecting like huge tusks.
This face seems to be human, for, although in some shields there is nothing to indicate this interpretation, in others the large face surmounts the highly conventionalised outline of a diminutive human body, the limbs of which are distorted and woven into a more or less intricate design. Each extremity of the outer surface is covered by a similarly conventionalised face-pattern on a smaller scale.
On the inner side each longitudinal half is covered with an elaborate scroll-pattern, generally symmetrical in the two halves; the centre of this pattern is generally a human figure more or less easily recognisable; the two halves sometimes bear male and female figures respectively.
The shields most prized by the Kenyahs are further decorated with tufts of human hair taken from the heads of slain enemies. It is put on in many rows which roughly frame the large face with locks three or four inches in length on scalp, cheeks, chin, and upper lip; and the smaller faces at the ends are similarly surrounded with shorter hair. The hair is attached by forcing the ends of the tufts into narrow slits in the soft wood and securing it with fresh resin.' Hose, C (1912): 'The pagan tribes of Borneo'

'The Kayans dry their tobacco in the shade, and it is not at all badly prepared; it is wrapped in the leaf of the wild banana, which dries almost like paper and has a peculiar scent, and is thus smoked in the form of a cigarette, a Kayan being seldom seen without one between his lips, for all the race are great smokers.'
