EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of young Kenyan girls from the Mandera region in the 1910s. The girls, dressed in traditional African attire, sit together on the ground, their bright smiles and curious gazes directed towards the camera. The girls' outfits consist of colorful wraps and beaded necklaces and bracelets, adornments that were once an integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the region. Mandera, located in the northeastern part of modern-day Kenya, was a significant trading center during the colonial era. The region was known for its vibrant cultural traditions, with the Borana and Gabra communities being the largest ethnic groups. The girls in this photograph are likely members of one of these communities. Despite the challenges and changes that the region has undergone over the decades, this image serves as a reminder of the resilience and beauty of the people of Mandera. The girls' youthful energy and the intricate beadwork on their necklaces and bracelets are a testament to the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to thrive in East Africa. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when life in Mandera was marked by community, tradition, and the natural beauty of the region. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and cultural heritage of Africa and the world.
