The Bull Jumping Ceremony is conducted by several tribes in the Lower Omo Valley and is the most important ceremony in a tribal man's life.The ceremony is about hierarchy and membership in the tribe and typically involves a young man who undergoes a number of rituals before he leaps onto and runs rapidly over a series of cattle held by other men who have recently bull-jumped. Once the jumping is completed, the bull-jumper is a man in the eyes of the tribe.
An important part of the ceremony is a ritualistic whipping, which women actively seek out from certain men known as Mazha. The women collectively harass these men who then whip them once with a thin reed like stick before casting the stick away. The whipping causes bleeding and intense pain but the women look upon it as a sign of strength, loyalty and obligation to the bull-jumper. They become incensed through a series of dances and then demand to be whipped in a macho, masochistic display. One effect of this ritual whipping is to create a sense of debt between the young man and his "sisters". If the future brings hardship to the women, they hope that he'll remember them because of the pain they went through at his initiation. The resultant scars are worn as a badge of honor by many of the women. The whipping of the women was truly bizar. Women don't hace to participate but many do.

This is a very exotic and a small tribe living in the Weyto Valley Desert living in a very harsh physical enviroment. The Arbore women generally wear a large black cloth to cover their heads. They perform many ritual-like dances while singing. They believe that dancing and singing with eliminate negative energies and give positive energy that will bring good-luck. The Arbore measure their wealth by the number of cattle they own.

View large on blackHerds belonging to the Bana consist mainly of cattle, although there are some sheep and goats. Camels are used for riding and as pack animals. Most Bana plant fields of sorghum at the beginning of the rainy season before leaving on their annual nomadic journey. Some households also plant sesame and beans. Because the crops are usually left unattended, the yields are low. Few households grow enough grain to last through the year.

Men may marry as many women as they like, but only within their own tribe. A "bride price" of cattle and other goods is provided by the prospective husband and his near relatives. A typical household consists of a woman, her children, and a male protector. A man may be the protector of more than one household, depending on the number of wives he has. Also, men are sometimes assigned the responsibility of protecting a divorced woman, a widow, or the wife of an absent husband (usually his brother). Marriage celebrations include feasting and dancing. Young girls as well as boys are circumcised.
