  • Résumé: Footage shot in South-West Africa (Namibia) as part of a University of California expedition to Ovamboland and areas of South Africa. Ethnic groups depicted include the Kuanyama Ambo (Ovambo), San, and Herero. Documentation among the Ovambo features scenes of the Efundula, an Ovambo girls' puberty ceremony, including girls dancing in initiation costumes consisting of "head nets," ofiti (ankle bracelets), and efungu (dancing wands); close-ups of neophytes' ceremonial coiffure and the omatela headdress (constructed from wire, fiber, and human hair and wound into a five-peaked hat smeared with fat and red ochre) worn by "ash girls"; peregrinations of initiates in a labyrinthian kraal; and pairs of candidates pounding grain in ground mortars with weighted pestles. Additional footage of the Ovambo includes: men crafting woven roof for a hut, panoptic scenes of lake and waterfalls, and men playing various musical instruments including slit gongs and large double membrane drums. Footage also includes scenes in Windhoek of Herero and Kalahari San in European garb, San dancing (near Windhoek), and urban (probably Zulu) dance performances in South Africa.
