Turkana Atapan initiation ceremony
Ritual dance from the Atapan (or Sapana) initiation ceremony for men, where boys are admitted into adulthood and thereby become full members of the tribe. The ceremony also marks their eligibility for marriage, although that will depend on how much wealth (cattle) he acquires.
