On August 9th, World Indigenous Peoples Day, The Mbuti Pygmies and OCP came together to celebrate. From the Mbuti camp through Epulu, 200 Mbuti sang songs and completed their traditional dances. The Mbuti's dances often imitate the behaviors of the forest's animals, like the okapi, to invoke their spirits. | Okapi Conservation Project
