Item Special Note
I was motivated to depict this Tanzanian Tribesman after learning how western governments are trying to stop them from hunting elephants. The Tanzanian tribes hunt lions and elephants as a manhood trial, and can't marry until they have proven themselves in this hunt. Tanzania has the largest elephant herds in Africa, but western society fails to see the damage they do to a proud people's culture by trying to westernize them. This attempt to so-call "civilize" the tribes of Tanzania only destroys a way of life that has been conducted for hundreds of years. This attitude has decimated Africa.
