  8. Sleeping in the Sahara Desert The Wodaabe and Peace Corps Volunteers are sleeping in the Sahara Desert after a night of celebrating the “Marriage Ceremony”. The blankets and rugs are hung on the trees to help shade the sleepers as the sun rises. Since the sun rises in the east, the rugs are placed facing East. Photo by Mrs. McLaughlin Return to Exhibit

  10. Wodaabe Departure The Wodabbe people have a marriage ceremony every year. Boys of marriage age form a circle and slowly move counter-clockwise in a side-step style dance, careful to keep the circle. The girls are on the outside of the circle and tap or pull on the hair or clothes of the boy they want to marry. After the boys and girls pair-up, they are married. This photo is of the Wodabbe people, the day after the festival, after the ceremony is over. They are heading deeper into the desert. Photo by Mrs. McLaughlin Return to Exhibit
