5 Cultures That Still Practice Nudity
Cultures that still go naked
The Zo’é Tribe of Brazil
The Zo’é tribe is a small ethnic group that resides in the Amazon rainforest — an area crossed by the Erepecuru and the Cuminapanema rivers in Northern Pará, in Brazil. The tribe had been void of any sort of contact with the outside world until 1987 when they were visited by missionaries. The Zo’é people are so isolated that it even reflects in their name Zo’é; meaning “Us”. The tribe is mostly known to wear just a wooden plug piercing on their bottom lip.
The Koma Tribe of Nigeria
The Koma tribe is the ethnic group of mountain dwellers residing in Adamawa state, northern Nigeria. Some of their villages share a border with the neighboring country Cameroon and have for many years been obscure until some time in 1986 when a corps member discovered the tribe. The people of this primitive tribe are mostly into farming and are unilineal as their sons inherit their father's properties while daughters, their mothers. For many years, the Koma tribe has adamantly refused to give into civilization, rather they've held on strongly to their traditions. The tribe is so primitive that not only do they wear leaves and animal skins, they even kill all twins in their tribe by burying them alive — alongside the mother.
