Timeline
History
Current status	Since many things have changed and for over sixty years, the Turkana remained untouched by the benefits and disadvantages of the twentieth century, they are now facing the consequences of having to quickly embrace a Western lifestyle which is destroying the culture of their people
Artwork most prevalent	The Turkana cling to elaborate traditions when it comes to fashion. Women wear colorful beads that reflect their wealth, marital status, and social standing. They take great pains in arranging their hair, shaving their heads except for a patch of small braids which are sometimes dyed as an orange red mohawk.. Men make and carry small stools, known as ekicholongs, which serve both as seats and pillows.
