  • Hani child and domesticated water buffalo used for ploughing the rice paddies. Hani Ethnic minority people. Yuanyang, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. CHINA<br />
Hani are found in the following Prefectures: Simao, Lincang, Xishuangbanna, Yuxi, Honghe, Baoshan, Dehong, Chuxiong and Lijiang.<br />
This is the dominant ethnic group in the highlands of Ailaoshan and the people who built most of the terraces. They belong to the Tibeto-Burman language group. Their two-story houses are built with mud brick and an added thatched shed onto the flat roof forms a distinct shape - called Mushroom houses. Their villages are built above the terraces. Each village selects a man to be the Guardian of Channels, who is in charge of checking the  flow of the main irrigation channel, cleaning it of debris and overseeing the post-harvest repairs. He also determines the amount of water to be allocated for other areas and for all members of the community. To guarantee that every family in the village receives a fair share of available water thus demands a high degree of cooperation among its residents. This outlook has instilled a stong sense of solidarity among the Hani and sharing has influenced their notion of hospitality. Their ethnic pride is visible  in the preference the women have for donning their traditional costume. The woman wear indigo and black trousers and jackets with silver coin buttons. They wear head bands decorated with coins and yarn hanging down the back.  The children up until the age of 6 years wear very decorated outfits and their hats are strewn with coins and chains.

  • Tabacco and snuff seller in bazaar of Jodhpur. Rajasthan, INDIA<br />
The Kingdom of Jodhpur was established in the 12th century but in the 15th century the fort and city walls were constructed and they still stand today. Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan with a population of 1.3 million. Jodhpur may be called the 'Blue City' from the characteristic pale indigo colour of its traditional homes. Originally the color signified the home of the Jodhpuri Brahmin but the copper sulphate in the paint seems to ward off termites and mosquitos so many people then followed the traditional of painting their homes blue. The very narrow streets are filled with colourful bazaars where merchants are selling their wares.

  • Woman carrying water up steps of the wall surrounding Mehrangarh Fort of Jodhpur. Rajasthan, INDIA<br />
This is one of the most impressive fortresses in rajasthan. Perched on top of a rocky cliff 400 feet above the plain, it has a commanding view of the surrounding area. The fort itself is divided broadly into 3 areas: the outer court, with its old stables and kitchens, the Durbar hall, reception rooms and maharajas palaces and finally the zenana, or queen's palaces. The palace complex constructed around a series of interconnecting courtyards and adorned with breathtaking carved sandstone filigree was first built in 1459 and added to over the centuries. <br />

  • Huaorani Indian - Ontagamo Kaimo out hunting with his  blowgun. Gabaro Community. Yasuni National Park.<br />
Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR.  South America<br />
This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted.  They are known as the Tagaeri & Taromenani. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.
