EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Carrying the Burden of Illness: A Traditional Healing Practice among the Njinga Tribesmen of Angola" This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the lives of two Njinga tribesmen from Angola, as they transport a sick patient using a traditional carrying sling. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and healing practices of the Angolan people. The Njinga tribesmen are expertly maneuvering the large pole, which supports a sling that cradles the patient. The intricately woven fabric of the sling provides both comfort and stability for the ailing individual, allowing them to be carried with care and dignity. The tribesmen's expressions convey a deep sense of compassion and commitment to their community, as they ensure their fellow villager receives the necessary assistance during a time of need. The Njinga people, also known as the Gingas, have a long and complex history in Angola. Named after their legendary queen, Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba (1583-1663), they have maintained their unique cultural identity despite the challenges of colonialism and the subsequent political upheavals. This photograph serves as a testament to their resilience and the enduring power of traditional practices in the face of adversity. The use of a carrying sling is an ancient healing method that has been employed by various African cultures for centuries. It not only facilitates the transportation of sick individuals but also allows for their continued connection to their community, providing emotional support and a sense of belonging. This image offers a poignant reminder of the importance of community, compassion, and the enduring power of traditional practices in the healing journey.
