In the early morning, a Dassanech girl milks a cow outside a settlement of the Dassanech people in the Omo Delta of Southwest Ethiopia. The nearness of the calf increases the flow of milk. The girl's decorated leather skirt and adornment are typical of the young women of her tribe.The Dassanech speak a language of Eastern Cushitic origin. They practice animal husbandry and fishing as well as agriculture.
