The Borana People Of Kenya came from the same roots as the Somali and rendille peoples. Yet an indigenous church exists and about 10% of the Kenya s People peoples of the NorthBoran. 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

Blackwing Safaris: Kenya Itineraries spectacular scenary, and we visit the indigenous nomads who The Boran, Gabbra and rendille peoples carry on in the Tugen, Elgeyo and Marakwet peoples and there http://www.kilimanjaro.com/safaris/blackwin/kenya.htm
Extractions: Blackwing is a small company specializing in personalized safaris at an affordable cost. All safaris are personally guided by the owner David Mascall and take a maximum of 3 persons. For details on cost, transport, accomodation, etc., please refer to Blackwing's page The following are suggestions for Kenya safari itineraries. It must be emphasised that the following itineraries only show some of the possibilities, and customised trips can easily be arranged. For those with very limited time (5 or 6 days), some of the legs (A and D) can be taken on their own, but they are designed so that they can be taken in series, with the Wildlife Safari (legs AD) taking 11 days or so (more days can easily be added if required), and the Complete Safari (legs ABCD) taking a minimum of 21 days. The legs are tried and tested and include the best wildlife areas, show the most unspoilt country with spectacular scenary, and we visit the indigenous nomads who have been virtually uninfluenced by the West. There are marvelous opportunities for photography at close quarters... or simply enjoy! All trips are very personal - I meet all of you at the airport and drive you in a reliable 4-wheel drive safari vehicle. We mostly camp in my own private fully equipped camp sites with my trained staff (but on occasion we stay in a rest-house or lodge). From these we take game-watching or other forays, returning for hot showers at noon, and later sundowners and yarns round the campfire followed by a full three-course dinner.

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: This paper is concerned with the arid region associated with nomadic non-Islamic pastoralists in East Africa and refers to the period before the cash economy had (arguably) become established as dominant. The exclusion of Islamic pastoralists living beyond the northern perimenter of this region is significant. Islam spread into Africa along trade routes, and these skirted the region rather than passed through it, because of its rough and arid terrain. It has been suggested that it was the effectiveness of warrior age organization among these pastoralists that checked the spread of Islam. However, a more likely explanation is the sheer absence of long distant trades routes through the region. To this extent, indigenous knowledge was less likely to be infiltrated by ideas that stemmed from expanding civilizations in earlier times. Among these pastoralists, knowledge of their herds was nurtured within each corporate family. The family was the unit of production, and was normally under the authority of the most senior male. It was through families that wealth accumulated and passed down the generations; and I have argued elsewhere that East African age systems have to be viewed with this in mind. It is no distortion to regard pastoralism in this region as a family business to which all members were committed, or they faced being squeezed out of the pastoral niche. At a more inclusive level, the term 'tribe' was particularly apt when applied to pastoralists, for this conjures up the image of a bounded social entity. Nomadism tended to create cultural uniformity over a wider area as families migrated with their stock independently of one another. From the stock-owner's point of view, his community of reference extended from wherever he happened to be, even if his neighbours changed with every nomadic movement. It follows that it was the local community who represented the 'tribe' as a whole as repositors of 'tribal custom'. This uniformity corresponded to sharp intertribal boundaries that separated neighbouring ethnic groups culturally and linguistically. To this extent indigenous knowledge among the nomads was not shared with their ethnic neighbours across the boundaries. They contrasted with settled agricultural groups, where there was often local variation and even a blurring of identities and dialects along the boundaries.

Extractions: This is the story of our overland journey to East Africa for nearly six months. Going to Africa was my idea. Jorg would have preferred India because he's very fond of curries. But I wanted adventure and felt we'd be more likely to get it in Africa. I told Jorg to get his curry at a take away and so the decision was made. East Africa seemed to be more practical because the more people speak English and not French like in West Africa. This is how the destination of our six month holiday was decided. We both preferred to travel overland. When you can see the landscape, the people and their cultures change, you get a much better perception of the distance you are covering. And we had the time, anyway. We planned to travel overland across Europe to Turkey. From Turkey we would take a boat to Northern Cyprus and cross the border to the Republic of Cyprus. From Limasol there was a ferry service to Egypt, our first destination so we would stay in this country for a month. Because the Sudan is fighting a civil war, we intended to bypass this country by boat from Port Said to Massawa in Eritrea. From Eritrea, it was possible to travel overland again, going South through Ethiopia and Kenya to Uganda. When we had run out of time or money, we would fly back home from Nairobi, because the Nairobi - London route offers the cheapest flight. We bought gadgets and travel guides and had so many vaccinations, I feel like I should be one of the healthiest people alive. Then we said good-bye to friends, family and pets made a packed lunch (which was consumed before we had even left the country) and left.
Profile Of The Dorobo Peoples Of Kenya And Tanzania A cultural profile of the group of peoples traditionally referred to as Dorobo, in the East African countries of Kenya and Tanzania. The Dorobo are various unrelated indigenous peoples. Cushite http://www.geocities.com/orvillejenkins/profiles/dorobo.html
Extractions: Status : 1% Christian Location : The "Dorobo" are not one tribe. Rather, the term Dorobo referred to the original forest-dwelling hunters in the Rift Valley of what is now Kenya and Tanzania. These peoples live in scattered groups in the plains of the Rift Valley and the forests of the neighboring escarpments. History : Southern Cushite peoples, followed by Eastern Cushites, settled in East Africa's Rift Valley during the first millennium after Christ. They found San (Bushmen) peoples already here. Bantu traditions refer to these early peoples whom their ancestors found there. Early Nilotes, then various waves of Bantu and later Nilotes subsequently came into the area. The Kikuyu refer to a people in Central Province as the Athi (the ground people), after the source the names Athi Plains and Athi River. Oral traditions say the Kikuyu paid the Athi to move into their land. The Athi seem to be either the Cushites or the original San people. (The Sandawe and the Hadzapi in northern Tanzania still speak San languages. The Bantu name "Twa" for the pygmies in Rwanda-Burundi-Zaire is the same word the Zulus use for the Khoisan click-language speakers they found in their early migrations into what is now Natal Province. There is still a San tribe there today called Twa.)
Kenya's Languages And Dialects rendille and Orma speaking groups occupy the north western has become the most extended indigenous language in Siyu, what we call the Swahili people is really http://kenya.com/language.html
Extractions: Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighboring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa. Dating the origins of Swahili is not an easy task. It seems clear that the language was spoken at the coast during the 13th century. Some authors propose a much more ancient origin: in his work "Journey through the Erithraean Sea", a greek trader named Diogene who visited the East African coast in the year 110 A.D. told that the arab traders who regularly sailed the coast talked to the natives in their local language, which could represent the first historical reference to Swahili.
