The Daasanach Tribe:
A People of the Delta
A Unique Cultural Identity
The Daasanach Tribe, known as the “People of the Delta,” resides at the intersection of the Omo River delta and Lake Turkana. Their culture is deeply intertwined with their natural surroundings.
Pastoral Lifestyle
Primarily pastoralists, the Daasanach rely on their cattle and goats for sustenance during the dry periods. They also engage in agriculture, cultivating maize, beans, and pumpkins during the flood season in the delta.

The Daasanach have developed a distinctive style of jewelry, using unconventional materials such as SIM cards, obsolete digital watches, and bottle caps. Their bottle cap headdresses are particularly recognizable and have become a symbol of their unique cultural identity.
