Delta’s continuing
commitment to celebrate the
Worlds’ most enduring and
unchanged cultures is realized
in Tuareg, the first of the
2004 Indigenous
Peoples series.
The Tuareg are known as “ The
Blue People”because the unique
azure color of
their garments sets them apart
from other nomadic peoples of
the desert. The
Tuareg are Nomads who once
traveled Western Africa in
great caravans of camels
controlling trans-Saharan
trade for thousands of years
until modern conveyances
forced their influence. Today,
the Tuareg have settled into
sedentary towns that
were once the epicenters of
trade and power.
Delta has forged the clip in
the shape of the Tuareg
Takouba (warrior’s sword)
to celebrate the struggle to
maintain one’s identity and
cultural values even in
the face of a mortal threat.
Tuareg is truly an instrument
of self expression
