About the Mukuando of Omunda Yevambo, South-western Angola
Early morning

The Mukuando are a peace-loving people, who, even though they have a plan of defense, prefer to hide in the mountains rather than engage in battle. They are eager to excel and make great teachers and coaches, which was invaluable during the period of intense research into their language and culture, preceding the efforts to write it down .
