Guestbook Shinyanga: Falling in Love Shinyanga: Falling in Love Shinyanga: Falling in Love with the Sukuma People with the Sukuma People with the Sukuma People by David A. Smith Despite having been ordained now for eleven years and having worked all that time in the Diocese of Shinyanga, I am still the youngest Maryknoll priest or brother in the diocese. Of the Maryknoll Missionaries mentioned in this informal history, I have been privileged to know but a few. Therefore, in endeavoring to present the Society's history for the past forty-two years in this region, I cannot draw much from my personal experience but rather can only relate that which I have been told by others. In a sense this is the traditional African approach to history: the elders gather the children around the fire at night and narrate for them the history of events that have made them a proud people. Like a faithful scrivener, I herein endeavor to record the stories of Maryknoll that I have been told by my elders. THE 1950S: MARYKNOLL GIVES LIFE TO AN INFANT CHURCH It was in October of 1954 that Lou Bayless, Joe Brannigan, Al Schiavone, John Rudin, and Edward (Eppie) James began Maryknoll's missionary work among the Sukuma people of Shinyanga. Al and John went to Kilulu Parish, while Lou and Eppie started at Busanda and were shortly thereafter joined by Maurice Zerr. For the first year, they lived with White Fathers. In mid-1955, Lou received two assistants at Busanda: newly ordained Donald Sybertz and Philip Sheerin. The White Fathers at Buhangija were joined by James L. Lenihan, Al Smidlein, and Edward McGurkin.

Guestbook Musoma: The Land of the 12 Tribes Musoma: The Land of the 12 Tribes Musoma: The Land of the 12 Tribes by Michael Snyder INTRODUCTION The history of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America (Maryknoll) in Musoma began on 21 October, 1946 when Frs. William Collins, Albert Good, Joseph Brannigan and Louis Bayless stepped off the Lake Steamer at Musoma town, then climbed a lorry for the nine mile trek to Nyegina Mission. Fifty years have passed and over 100 Maryknoll priests, brothers, priest associates, and lay associates have placed their hands to the plow participating in the missionary effort of the Catholic Church in present day Musoma Diocese. What I am about to present is a brief summary of the major aspects of the Society's effort in this portion of Tanzania. So, while I do mention some names, to attempt to describe the efforts of each individual would be a task beyond my capability and to elaborate on just a few would be an injustice to others. THE EARLY YEARS The first four missionaries and the others who followed in those early years kept themselves closely aligned with the pastoral praxis of the Missionaries of Africa, more popularly known as the White Fathers. This was the Society which preceded Maryknoll in Musoma, arriving there in 1911. Upon our arrival in 1946, there were only two missions existing: Nyegina, already mentioned, and Kowak, which was located some 25 miles north of the Mara River.

In many ways, the Sukuma are experiencing a renewed interest in traditional culture. Some think that the strength of this movement is found in the reconciliation of the modern and traditional. Cultural traditions appear to be spreading through contemporary means and not as a contest between the old and the new. Sukuma traditional arts and culture are thriving as much as the economic growth in the region. T anzania has accelerated its movement toward democracy, increased its communication networks, and opened its economy to the world. This has influenced the traditional culture of the Sukuma. While many Sukuma remain in small villages, others move to cities and assimilate to the urban society which is a combination of many different cultures and international influences. Possibly to renew awareness in Sukuma culture, identity and history, some people provide cultural leadership through a mix of traditional and modern culture. This movement reflects an increased interest in utamuduni or traditional culture, which lies in the dynamic social and political changes that are currently spreading through Usukuma. Today, a revival of Sukuma culture is taking place among traditional doctors, chiefs, artists, and dancers. A s the Tanzanian government has shifted from state controlled socialism to capitalism, it has created a more mobile work force and a diversification of employment opportunities. Many Sukuma are still farmers, merchants, builders and traditional doctors; but, in today's economy, there are also working in the communications, health, shipping, transportation, mining and banking sectors. Mwanza, the city center of Usukuma, is one of the largest and fastest growing urban areas in Tanzania. While most of Usukuma is rural and many live in the countryside, people throughout the country and central Africa are flocking to Mwanza to find work in one of the many emerging economic industries.

Bessire A s the visitor approaches the museum entrance, after meandering along a wide path and passing the grade school, the village homes and shambas (farms) we see the brilliantly decorated administrative buildings and gift shop. A large, technicolor entry marker in the shape of an oversized royal drum welcomes us to the museum. The drum is positioned on top of a three dimensional, bas-relief map of Tanzania (complete with Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika, Malawi and the Indian Ocean) and is marked "Chama cha St.Sesilia" (the name of the local ethnographic society) with the names of four important Bujora dignitaries inscribed around the sides of the monument base: the Dutch Father Blomjous (Bishop of Mwanza Archdiocese); Hendricks "Chenya" (a Dutch Missionary of Africa and expert in Kisukuma); Butibubage (the Tanzanian Bishop who replaced Blomjous); and D. Klementi "Fumbuka" (the founder of the Sukuma Museum and Bujora Church, Father Clement, who was nicknamed "Fumbuka," which means unexpected). E xercising the "self-enclosure" and classification of the museum institution, the Sukuma Museum provides the visitor with a representation of Sukuma life. As we move through the museum, we are able to walk past and inside structures of traditional Sukuma history. The installations of the Museum are thematically organized with all facets of "traditional" Sukuma life represented: the royal, the sacred and the quotidian. The museum visitor is able to visit a representation of a traditional Sukuma house and compound, the thatched dwellings of a Sukuma blacksmith, a replica of a traditional doctor's house and a Royal Pavilion for Sukuma royal history and Dance Society Pavilion for the history of Sukuma dance. Prominently situated at the far end of the compound, the Bujora Church is placed on the crest of the hill that overlooks the entire grounds and surrounding area of Lake Victoria.

Groups of Nilotic or related origin include the nomadic Masai and the Luo, both of which are found in greater numbers in neighboring Kenya. Two small groups speak languages of the Khoisan family peculiar to the Bushman and Hottentot peoples. Cushitic-speaking peoples, originally from the Ethiopian highlands, reside in a few areas of Tanzania. Although much of Zanzibar's African population came from the mainland, one group known as Shirazis traces its origins to the island's early Persian settlers. Non-Africans residing on the mainland and Zanzibar account for 1% of the total population. The Asian community, including Hindus, Sikhs, Shi'a and Sunni Muslims, and Goans, has declined by 50% in the past decade to 50,000 on the mainland and 4,000 on Zanzibar.

To be classified as beneficials, these products should come from plants that grow well on poor quality land, i.e. do not compete with crop land, they should not act as weeds, they should not support crop pests, and the products should be easily prepared. Some degree of success in the commercial production of these materials has been attained, e.g. rotenone, pyrethrum, nicotine, and neem. Usually, however, these are quite expensive when purchased on the open market. Cheaper when on-farm produced. Commercial plantations are not without pest problems. Tephrosia, for example, suffers from insects, nematodes, damping off, and problems with seed production. Even pyrethrum plants suffer from nematode problems in the foliage. Recently, neem has been hit with severe root rot problems. Further, identification of the active compound(s) in these plants is illusive and very expensive to pursue.
