Wodaabe Children
Many boys and girls have already been pledged to each other by their parents to preserve their traditions which they fiercely hold onto. Goats and sheep are tended by the children.

The Wodaabe are sexually liberal; unmarried girls may have sex whenever and with whomever they wish. A bride stays with her husband until she becomes pregnant then returns to her mother's home, where she will remain for the next three to four years.

A Wodaabe Fulani people group wooing ritual dance
I captured this Wodaabe Gerewol (Wooing Dance) ritual when I traveled to Niger's Sahal region for a media assignment in 2001. This photo has been edited/stylized a bit. This was an amazing assignment and experience. #wodaabe #gerewol #danceritual #wooingdance #culture #niger #photography #africa
At the end of the rainy season in September, Wodaabe clans gather in several traditional locations, before the beginning of their dry season migration. The best known of these is In-Gall's Cure Salée salt market and Tuareg seasonal festival. Here the young Wodaabe men, with elaborate make-up, feathers, and other adornments, perform the Yaake: dances, and songs, to impress marriageable women. The male beauty ideal of the Wodaabe stresses tallness, white eyes, and teeth; the men will often roll their eyes, and show their teeth to emphasize these characteristics. Wodaabe clans then join for the remainder of the week-long Guérewol, a series of barters over marriage and contests, where the young men's beauty and skills are judged by young women.
