- 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. The society was highly stratified, but also being matrilineal, women hold positions of authority both in the family and the culture.
- Silversmithing has long been honored in Tuareg society, and now more than ever, offers a way to make a living in villages and towns.
