    uniE608 Enkang'ang' - OUR HOME
    An audio-visual documentation of the rich Maasai heritage with stories from Maasai women, and a boundless future. video interview The Maasai people are one of the few tribes in Kenya that until now, maintain more of their traditional culture and way of life. They are mainly pastoralists with large herds of cattle. They originally had a nomadic way of life, and many places in Kenya have their names from Maasai origin eg ‘Nairobi’ comes from the Maasai word ‘Narobi’ meaning ‘cold’ (cold waters). Due to the effects of colonization, and climate change, the Maasai way of life has changed with time and most of them are now in settled homesteads and practice agriculture too. We wanted to find out more about their way of life by engaging some of the women from Twala Tenebo women's village in a series of conversations about the following topics : -The history and design of the Enkaji (the Maasai huts) -The Maasai culture; what’s their experience and takes? -Maasai diet, methods of cooking, food & kitchen rituals -Maasai accessories - beaded jewellery & dresses -Climate change & permaculture To have a limitless future, we must learn from past traditions.
