Description

Outside of a home in Ng'iya village. This is the best interpretation of the original notes ('outside of dala, Ngia'). This is a typical Luo homestead fenced with thick euphorbia trees and huts inside it that can just be seen through the fence. The area outside the home is for cattle grazing or is cleared for planting crops. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
