Mumuils

"MUMUILS" THAT IS THE NAME OF THE TRIBE.


They belong to the Mumuiíla tribe of the Nyaneka people. Although their clothing has been greatly influenced by European people, it is still possible to observe some original features, such as the use of leather skirts, leather belts decorated with beads, the use of adornments, such as chokers and wrist and ankle bracelets.

 Due to the lack of rain in their land, these people found a solution to their problems by moving to the urbanized city of Lubango, thinking they would find sustainability and rest. but it was the opposite, here in the city they found a great challenge whose name is Money, and they didn't know how to acquire this money and without money they found themselves sleeping on the streets of the city, after a while they managed to adapt to the inhabitant of the city. city, some went looking for jobs as security guards and others as salespeople, women used their children to beg money from people on the street, and other women sold their medicinal herbs. By this I mean that not everyone needs to go to urbanized places. Urbanization is within us. Once the rain resumed, the government had to help them with agricultural equipment, because they live from agriculture, hunting and fishing, there are times when rural areas are an option to grow and live.
Even I also have to work to adapt to urbanization. Happy holidays everyone!

    Fascinating glimpse into the Mumuiíla tribe's journey—from traditional roots to adapting in the urban hustle. Their resilience shines amid challenges, reminding us that urbanization is not just about concrete jungles but the strength within communities. 🌍
