| Description |
English: A traditional Chaga hut in Kilimanjaro. The hut is surrounded by pineapple plants which are thorny, preventing snakes and other animals from entering the hut. The pineapples are also used as food. Two boulders mark the entrance to the hut, with a long Masele plant near one of the boulders. The Masele plant has symbolic meanings to the chaga. Leaves can be plucked and arranged in different fashions and hung on the door, enabling a fellow villager to know what the hut owner is doing at a particular time. They can also be used to re-establish peace between quarreling villagers. A pot on the top of the hut prevents rain water to seep into the hut whilst acting as a chimney to allow smoke out. Banana plants seen in the background are the main diet of the people. A chaga man is outside his hut. |
