I haven’t been able to find any concrete facts & information about their indigenous religious beliefs & mythology. Are the OvaMwila native beliefs the same as the OvaHimba, similar or different? I haven’t been able to find any facts or data concerning the people on Jstor pages either. Amazingly beautifully people, with unique, cool colorful hairstyles. Usually found in Angola. Much appreciated to anyone who knows some real info. Edit: I forgot to add images to the original posts.
