Dogon country
| We hire a guide, called Mohammed (like all good guides). He has three little scarifications on his cheek. He takes us to two villages on the plateau. One old man proudly shows us his three ancient flintlocks. They must be from around 1860... he uses one of them and has a monkey hanging on the wall of his hut as proof. We go the the chief's house... he is old and wise. The Dogon are animists, and bring offereings to him to ensure the next year's harvests. Pictured is a girl outside his hut, grinding millet. |
