Extractions: European penetration of the East African hinterland dates from little more than 100 years ago. Colonial administration commenced formerly in 1890, but effective control in local areas required a decade or two more for its accomplishment. In its entirety the era ended with the independence of Tanganyika in 1961, Uganda in 1962, and Kenya and Zanzibar in 1963. The European presence- whatever its accomplishments or failures, advantages or drawbacks-both forced and attracted East Africa abruptly into the modern world. THE SUKUMA Details of Sukuma origins are obscure. Available evidence suggests that the tribe as it exists today a conglomeration of disparate, indigenous. Bantu- speaking clans, overlaid with immigrant Hima (Nilo - Hamitic) stock. The migrants, who were Voluntarily accepted as chiefs after their arrival, made their way around the West Side of Lake Victoria from Uganda and farther north between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. Perhaps because it represents one geographical extreme of this Migration, the Sukuma amalgam is virtually complete physically and culturally. Rigid differentiation does not exist as in some other inter-lacustrine tribes: most Sukuma believe they are at least distant relatives of former chiefs. The individual chiefdom, rather than the tribe, was traditionally the primary focus of loyalty above the most local community of homesteads like the Soga of Uganda, the Sukuma were a multi- kingdom collection of more or less autonomous chieftaincies. Approximately fifty in number, these were ruled by chiefs possessing magic-religious as well as political powers. The necessity for a fundamentally approving consensus on the part of the people, and certain privileges and sanctions enjoyed by groups within the traditional political order limited the autocratic tendencies of chiefs. Principal among these groups were electors (bananghoma) who were relatives of the royal line but themselves ineligible for office, leaders of the elders (Banamhala), and leaders of the young men (basumba batale).

Cultural Survival culture. The project appeals to both the Pimbwe and the sukuma people as well as the many smaller ethnic groups within the region. http://www.culturalsurvival.org/special_projects/africa/mpimbwe.cfm
Extractions: INDIGENOUS ACTION NETWORK WEEKLY NEWS PUBLICATIONS EDUCATION ... Home SEARCH REGIONS Africa Arctic Asia Europe ... World ISSUES Culture Health Indigenous Enterprise Natural Resources ... special projects Peoples of Mpimbwe Fund The Peoples of Mpimbwe Fund, a Cultural Survival Special Project, was founded early in 2003 with the express purpose of helping the people of Mpimbwe Division adjust to contemporary challenges while enabling them to protect their own particular ways of life and culture. The project appeals to both the Pimbwe and the Sukuma people as well as the many smaller ethnic groups within the region. The second project of the Peoples of Mpimbwe Fund is dedicated to another economic enterprise. After a series of meetings, the women of Mirumba village decided that the Peoples of Mbimbwe Fund could initially best help them by purchasing a milling machine. With exchangeable blades this machine can husk and grind, and can be used for maize and rice. The income generated from a small users fee will purchase fuel and spares, and finance future projects that the women are planning. Currently, the nearest husking machine is seven kilometers away. With such a machine in the village, a family of six people could save approximately seven hours each week husking maize with the traditional mortar and pestle tools. Adequate funding is crucial to the initiation of these projects. The Kibaoni Ward Beekeeping Project requires the purchase of special start-up kits that will ensure honey quality that passes European organic standards, protective clothes for the teams of workers who collect from the hives, and a building to store the produce for NGO collection. The women of Mirumba need funds to purchase the milling machine, and a building in which to house it. Approximately $5,100 total will be needed to complete the first stages of both projects, with all the labor to be volunteered by the villagers. While this is an enormous sum for the people of Mpimbwe Division, it is only a small fee to those of us who can give the local inhabitants of the region the economic power to make choices about their own lifestyles.

Population distribution in Tanzania is extremely uneven. Density varies from 1 person per square kilometer (3 per sq. mi.) in arid regions to 51 per square kilometer (133 per sq. mi.) in the mainland's well-watered highlands to 134 per square kilometer (347 per sq. mi.) on Zanzibar. More than 80% of the population is rural. Dar es Salaam is the capital and largest city; Dodoma, located in the center of Tanzania, has been designated the new capital, although action to move the capital has stalled. The African population consists of more than 120 ethnic groups, of which the Sukuma, Haya, Nyakyusa, Nyamwezi, and Chaga have more than 1 million members. The majority of Tanzanians, including such large tribes as the Sukuma and the Nyamwezi, are of Bantu stock. 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.

Extractions: The potentials of indigenous technical knowledge (ITK), both for expanding scientific technical knowledge and for empowering its owners, are overwhelming. There is compelling evidence of the extent and rationality of ITK in East Africa. This article presents a broad overview of past and present research in the field of ITK within East African farming systems. It also indicates possible topics for further research. Indigenous technical knowledge Within farming systems, ITK embraces people's knowledge of tools and techniques for the assessment, acquisition, transformation, and utilization of resources which are specific to a particular location. ITK can encompass: Vernacular: technical knowledge held by all or most individuals in a specific locality, e.g., knowledge of crop rotation, or pest and weed control;
Planting New Churches the great church growth among the sukuma with this Christian meanings must be communicated in indigenous forms. The people of the land should not perceive the http://www.missiology.org/essentialtasks/plantingchurches.htm
Extractions: Planting New Churches The theological and strategic foundations upon which churches are planted greatly affect their ability to grow and mature. Paul encourages the church planter to "be careful how he builds." Sooner or later the builder's work will be tested with fire. Those who build with incombustible materials (gold, silver, and costly stones) will receive a reward, but those who build with combustible materials (wood, hay, and straw) will experience loss (1 Cor. 3:10-15). Definition of Church Planting Church planting may be defined as initiating reproductive fellowships who reflect the kingdom of God in the world . A number of characteristics of church planting are reflected in this definition. First, church planting is aimed at the creation of fellowships . The church is the family of God, the body of Christ (Eph. 1:23), a people "belonging to God" (1 Pet. 2:9). These biblical metaphors indicate that the church must become a cohesive body reflecting the qualities of God in an alien world (vv. 11-12). Evangelistic methodologies should not scatter contacts who cannot be molded into bodies of believers; they must focus evangelism in one area for the purpose of creating a community of God. Converts must not be treated merely as individuals but incorporated in the body of Christ. Matayo Lang'at, a Kipsigis evangelist of Kenya, used a farming metaphor to explain why new Christians must work together to become part of a functioning fellowship:
History And Information On Tanzania And Mount Kilimanjaro made up of two general indigenous groups, which The Nilotic speaking people whom originate from the ethnic groups within Tanzania are sukuma Largest group http://www.kilimanjaroworld.com/tanzania.htm
Extractions: Back to Top When you consider that mankind's birthplace may have been centered somewhere in northern Tanzania it's evident that there is a long human history there. Archaeologists have discovered the fossils of several types of manlike creatures called Australopithecine's in the Olduvai Gorge just North West of Mount Kilimanjaro. Scientists believe these creatures lived as long as 4 million years ago. Tanzania's first mainland inhabitants had established themselves as early as 3000 to 5000 years ago. It's safe to assume that the inhabitants were there prior to the above dates, since knowledge of the inhabitants comes mainly from remnants of ancient Stone Age sites that have been researched. What researchers do know is that these early settlers were hunters and gatherers who spoke Khoisan. Around 1000 B.C. people speaking the Cushitic language began to settle from Ethiopia and Somalia. These people brought cattle and knowledge of stone tools and settled in the Northern Regions.
