- The Tuareg are a traditionally nomadic Amazigh (Berber) people who once traveled freely around the Sahara. National borders have gotten in the way, and climate change has forced many to settle.

- Silversmithing has long been honored in Tuareg society, and now more than ever, offers a way to make a living in villages and towns.
