Every year when the pond dries up and the rains come, Nya’s family moves to the camp near the big lake. They can only stay during the dry months by the pond because her tribe, the Nuer, is always fighting with the Dinka, and during times of struggle there is less fighting.
The lake is actually dried up, but the girls and women can dig into the clay of the lakebed and get the water out. Nya is tasked with doing this. She waits for water for hours and hours at a time.
