Summary
[edit]_(29099303372).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The Hamar (also spelled Hamer) are an Omotic community inhabiting southwestern Ethiopia. The Hamar are known for their unique custom of "bull jumping," which initiates a boy into manhood. First, female relatives dance and invite whipping from men who have recently been initiated; this shows their support of the initiate, and their scars give them a right to demand his help in time of need. The boy must run back and forth twice across the backs of a row of bulls or castrated steers, and is ridiculed if he fails. |
