For the sake of briefing, three most unique nationalities are described below. The Hammer The Karo Numbering about 1000, the Karo live on the east bank of the Omo River. They used to herd cattle but having lost large numbers of their animals to disease they turned to agriculture. They are closely related to the Hammer keeping some cattle with them and exchanging goods such as pots with them. They speak virtually the same language as the Hammer. Moving enough is watching the Karo preparing themselves for a celebration or dance when they decorate their bodies with a chalk paint often imitating the spotted plumage of a guinea fowl. The Karo excel in face and torso paintings. Elaborate facemasks are created using locally found white chalk, yellow mineral rock, pulverized iron ore and black charcoal.

    Extractions: Ethiopia is a country of approximately 57 million people of many diverse and colorful ethnic backgrounds — a melting pot of ancient Middle Eastern and African cultures. It is also a country where recently may changes have taken place, but where many ancient customs and traditions remain intact. With a population of about 57 million, Ethiopia represents a melting pot of ancient Middle Eastern and African cultures evident in the religious, ethnic and language composition of its Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic and Nilotic peoples. The Ethiopian peoples comprise about seventy eight nationalities of which the Amhara and the Oromo constitute the majority, with about 60 percent of the total population. Amharic, Oromiffa and Tigrigna are the major languages used by two third of the population. Amharic is the official language of the Federal Government. English is the medium of instruction in secondary schools, junior colleges, and universities, and is widely used in business transactions, particularly in banking and insurance. Arabic and Italian are also widely spoken.

    Extractions: Bia - land, country So the rulers of ancient times, the Egyptians, viewed Ethiopia as a Land of Upper Truth or Country of Higher Peace, or literally, Truth and Peace in the Upper Lands. This was unfathomable to the Europeans, who tended to use the term Abyssinia, or Abyss-in-Jah. Some things are just too deep for mere mortals to comprehend; the evidence is in the etymology and nomenclature. Amhara, Amharic: Origin and Meaning We also learn that the Amhara language was created in the 13th century from kamito-semitic (Egyptian / Arabic / Hebrew) "esperanto" type mixtures. Geez, believed to be the language "in which Jah spoke first", was considered too Holy for common usage, and Amharic spread quickly. Every tribe, every clan, every sub-region of Ethiopia that spoke the new Amharic language became Amhara. What does it mean?

SHOPPING With time, the term "art" has become to mean more than drawing and painting. To our understanding it has come to encompass a variety of expressive fields such as drama, theatre, music and much more. This fairly modern type of inclusion has made it quite a challenge to easily define art. "Culture", as one would expect, simply adds to the complexity. It is with this understanding and inborn knowledge of the unique, complex artistic nature of Ethiopia, that we are unable to give a single definition as to what Ethiopian Art and Ethiopian Culture is.

April 29, 2000 There is one thing that we Ethiopians are really good at: living for today, not worrying about tomorrow! After all, there is even the saying “lejochu endehon be-idilachew yadgalu”. And what a destiny many of them grow up to! One of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and extremely limited opportunities. Sadly, frugality is considered a negative trait/attribute in our culture and we grow up confusing extravagance and frivolous spending with generosity. As harmful as these negatives are, there are positives as well. These are: Ekub : traditional savings association Edir : traditional insurance system Are Ethiopians in Diaspora any different? Do they handle their finances well? At least in the US, there is a decent portion of us here (arguably) that have managed to buy a home. Most of us own cars but that my not be anything to write home about given that many Ethiopians live above their means and are up to their ears in credit-card debt etc. “So do many others” one might say and true enough! But if we can pick up on those habits, why not also learn smart money management skills from our environment such as budgeting, thoughtful/planned giving, saving and investing? We certainly have the resources right here! In the final analysis, it’s not what you earn that matters it’s what you keep!
