Artist's Description
The name Dinka � applied to both the language and its speakers - means
�people.� Like the Nuer and the Masai, the Dinka are largely pastoral.
They migrate regularly in response to the seasons and their agro-pastoral

and worldview. Traditionally, boys tend goats and sheep, while older men
are responsible for the cattle.
Though the Dinka groups retain the traditional pastoral life of Nilotes,

people, wealthy or poor, are expected to contribute to the common good....
