The Borana People Of Kenya A cultural profile of a group of borana of Kenya, who are part of a larger Oromo group of peoples related to other Eastern Cushite languages. Most of the borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia along with the other Oromo groupings in Eastern africa Yet an indigenous church exists and about 10% of the borana http://www.geocities.com/orvillejenkins/profiles/borana.html
Extractions: Population : 4 million (most in Ethiopia, about 90,000 in Kenya) NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Borana are part of a very much larger group of about 4 to 5 million persons of whom approximately 90,000 live in north central Kenya with the balance in Ethiopia. They are related to the Oromo in Somalia also. They live in a large area of barren northern Kenya. About 44% of the Kenya Borana live in Marsabit District, into Tana River District, Garissa District and in Moyale District. The heaviest concentration live in the Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula. History: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500's. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to a greater southern expansion. There are almost 4 million Borana people, most living in Ethiopia. Identity: The word spelled Borana is pronounced with the final vowel silent. For this reason in many English sources the word is spelled

Extractions: In his early twenties Jim began travelling to Mexico and Central America, living with the Maya, Nahuatl, Raramuri, Purepecha and Boruca. At that time he connected with Nahuatl musician Mazatl Galindo, and together they formed the duo Xochimoki, dedicating themselves to the revival of pre-Columbian musical traditions, particularly those of Mesoamerica. Out of this collaboration came numerous recordings, museum exhibition and film soundtracks, and years of concerts tours across North America and ultimately worldwide. Finally Jim and Mazatl settled into a seven year residency with the Los Angeles Music Center and Orange County Performing Arts Center, teaching and performing for literally hundreds of thousands of school children throughout Southern California. Through these programs Jim and Mazatl developed another specialization, performing the music of rainforest cultures in conjunction with environmental education. Simultaneously and subsequently, Jim continued his travel, study, field recording and instrument collecting, living with a family of Shuar musicians in the Upper Amazon of Ecuador, amongst the Aymara and Quechua in the South American Andes, with the Borana, Samburu, Masai, Amharic, Nubian, Egyptian and Dogon people in Africa , with Celtic, Bretagne, Catalan and Greek in Europe, with Hindi, Nepali, Tibetan, Buryat, Russian, Uzbek, Persian, Ainu, Japanese and Balinese in Asia, and with Native Hawaiian, Rapa Nuian, Marquesian, Tahitian and Fijian people across the islands of the Pacific.

Extractions: This memorandum has been prepared and submitted to the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission by members of pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities in Kenya. Pastoralists and hunter-gatherers (PHG) have identified themselves as indigenous peoples owing to their culture, relationship and spiritual attachment to their ancestral and traditional territories, in Kenya, and seek to have the new Kenyan Constitution recognize them as such. 2. This Constitution shall obligate the State to recognize the rights of indigenous peoples as stipulated by various international instruments and standards, specifically, ILO Convention 169, the United Nations Declaration on Persons belonging to Ethnic Minorities, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, amongst others, mentioned in this memorandum.

Extractions: THE LAND OF JILALI : TRAVELS THROUGH KENYA'S DROUGHT-STRICKEN NORTH. Paul Goldsmith This is the journal of the journeys of a Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) team studying natural resource management in Marsabit District. Our missionto assess environmental degradation, and how sedentarisation may be contributing to desertification around settlements and on the range. As we zoom across the flat hardpan of the Chalbi desert, the sun is spreading its soft, brilliant blanket over the silhouette of Mt. Kulal. We pass small Rendille camels from the fora satellite camps, grazing in the twilight, unfazed by our speed. We are in no hurry, and on a twilight break we inspect the Chalbi's crusty, salt-impregnated surface. When precipitation exceeds evaporation, insoluble minerals and salts are leached out of the soil. Eons of rainfall have concentrated soda in the wind-scoured floor of this former inland sea. Once upon a time, this was a very lush land. It is early June, 2000. Kenya is hurtling toward a massive combined crisis of power shortfalls, water rationing, and shrinking informal sector employment. The drought-crippled economy is fueling new and unique expressions of social tension: rioting school children in Nairobi capture a Tusker beer truck, and drink it dry.

The diversity of climate and topography in Oromiya has attracted a wide variety of wild animals. Black leopard, serval cat, otter, striped hyena, civet, mountain reedbuck, gerenuk, warthog, gelada baboon, colobus monkey, hunting dog, and spot-breasted plover are found in all parts of Oromiya. There are some special wild animals and species of birds in the four national parks established by the government. Oryx, soemmerings, gazelle, caral and 450 species of birds are found in Awash National Park. The mountain nyala ( tragelaphae baxton Similarly, the Ambo Oromo have a detailed zoological classification of faunal diversity. Elephant, buffalo, lion, rhinoceros, giraffe, kudu, Qorkii ( water buck Warabboo (large antelope), and Biichee were found in Ambo. In the recent past, they migrated to other areas because of forest clearance. Hunting also contributed to the depletion of wild animals. In the past, the Oromo viewed hunting as a means of self-actualization. They participated in hunting expeditions and killed different animals. The Oromo had a strong hunting preferences for certain species, such as lion, elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, leopard, buffalo, greater kudu, and panther. But hunting is no more a source of bush meat, hides and ivory.. In fact, many peasants hunt wild animals once a year during Easter. Previously, they used to hunt during the dry seasons in January, February and March when the animals are very weak and cannot get enough water to drink and grass to graze. Many peasants indiscriminately hunt wild animals without making any distinction between female and male, old and young. Hunters who use hunting as a means of self-realization are expected to get

Return to BSP Publications A . Administrative and political international boundaries The countries of Eastern Africa (defined here as comprising Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Somalia, and Tanzania) have a number of features in common. First, most countries were colonies. While Burundi and Rwanda were colonized by the Germans and then by the Belgians, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania were British colonial territories (Tanganyika was taken from Germany at the end of the First World War). Ethiopia was colonized by Italy but only for a short while. Eritrea was part of Ethiopia up to 1993. Djibouti was French, Somalia was Italian (though a part of it was colonized by Britain). Map 1 shows the countries and capital cities, and Table 3 summarizes their key statistics. These countries boundaries were established by their colonial regimes, and are largely political constructs. Although they might appear fixed, international boundaries have been fluid and have gone through some adjustments over the past 150 years. Border conflicts are unfortunately still common in parts of Africawitness the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict of 19982000. These adjustments have seriously impacted the inter-connectedness of cultural and natural systems. Borders resulting from the colonial legacy have split ecosystems as well as indigenous groups. Borders were decided arbitrarily by colonialists using simple geographic features rather than ecosystems structures and human and wildlife movements. Rivers, mountains, and straight lines such as longitude and latitude were used to demarcate national boundaries (Griffin
