Customs+and+clothing

=The Nuer tribe members wear clothing that typically looks like the above picture. Sometimes men wear no clothing at all, while women will wear a cloth around her waist. Women wear jewelry that they make themselves too. Some other customs in the Nuer culture is the initiation process of a boy becoming a man. The boy has to be circumcised then receive six cuts across his forehead. This process is done with a razor. Ash or juice is used on the cuts to make the scars more defined. The scars represent a number of different things such as social status, age, wealth, or just to increase physical attractiveness.=
