Mundari Tribe
A minor ethnic group in South Sudan is called the Mundari. They belong to the Karo ethnic group and are members of the Karo people. This tribe belongs to the Karo people, which is also made up of the Bari, Pojulu, Kakwa, Kuku, and Nyangwara tribes. They are farmers and ranchers who raise cattle.
- The village of Terekeka in the state of Central Equatoria serves as the hub of the traditional Mundari tribal territory, which is situated around 75 kilometers north of Juba, the capital of South Sudan. According to the 1956 British Colonial borders, they are bounded to the north by the Bor Dinka at Pariak and to the south by the Bari of Juba, which is 12 km away at the Gwerkek north of Peiti Northern Bari of Juba base.
- Like other Nilotic tribes, the Mundari place a high value on cattle, which they use as a status symbol and a means of exchange. The potential groom arranges marriages by giving cattle to the bride’s family, and husbands are free to take as many wives as they can sustain. During the dry season, the Mundari and the Bor Dinka fight every year about cattle raiding.
- Men from Mundari occasionally soak their hair in cow urine because they think it looks lovely since the uric acid in the urine gives their hair a red, yellow, or orange hue. The Mundari use spears and nets to catch fish, and they also grow sorghum.
Endangered Tribes of the World with Interesting
Endangered tribes of the world are the tribes or sections of tribes that are considered more vulnerable than other tribes. Referred to as indigenous peoples in intentional isolation, these groups choose to remain uncontacted. Although it is difficult to accurately determine the actual number of endangered tribes due to legal restrictions, estimates from the UN’s Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the nonprofit organization Survival International suggest that there are between 100 and 200 endangered tribes, with a total population of up to 10,000. Most of South America’s endangered tribes are found in northern Brazil, where the Brazilian government and National Geographic believe that there are between 77 and 84 tribes.
