Re: Naked people in Africa, I look for them. Posted on: Mon, 6 Mar 2006 20:24:41 +0000 (UTC)

Hi Lou,
That's a nice website, very impressive pictures.
I was somewhat misquoting Theroux from memory; the character
in his book makes the claim that the Mursi people of southwestern
Ethiopia are "the last naked people in the world". Did you see any
Mursi? Shortly after that he mentions also the Oromo, Galla and
Wolayta - perhaps that'll interest the OP if he's still reading!
Thanks Bem too, for the info - we're all learning something
from this!
