    Extractions: Sorry, but you must enable JavaScript to view the photographs and many of the navigation links and other features on this web site. Most of the Masai (or Maasai) pictured here are from a small village on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania. They have very much maintained their traditional ways as cattle herders. The Masai believe that all cattle in the world belong to them, even though some may have temporarily found themselves in the possession of others. Thus, the Masai are always justified in raiding their non-Masai neighbors in order to "return" the cattle to the rightful owners. The Masai (and the Samburu) have very elaborate "coming of age" traditions. Boys are circumcised in their early teens in a ceremony attended by the entire village. The boy who flinches during this procedure brands himself as a coward and disgraces his family. Once circumcised, the young man becomes a member of the warrior class – a moran – and must live apart from the village with the other warriors. Eventually, at some point in his late teens or early twenties, a moran is chosen to become a junior elder, earns the right to marry and returns to live in the village. There were no moran nearby on the day we visited the Masai village near Ngorongoro, but I did see some in the Samburu region, where the customs are very similar. For photographs, go to the

    Extractions: Sorry, but you must enable JavaScript to view the photographs and many of the navigation links and other features on this web site. The Samburu people inhabit an arid region in northern Kenya. They have traditionally herded cattle, though lately some have taken up farming. Others have started raising camels, which do well in this dry area. The Samburu share many customs with the Masai Like the Masai, the Samburu have rather elaborate "coming of age" traditions. Boys are circumcised in their early teens in a ceremony attended by the entire village. The boy who even flinches dishonors himself and his family. Among the photographs you will see Frances, a moran about 20 years old. Frances had received some schooling and was able to speak English well enough to carry on a conversation. He told me a bit about his life and showed me how he uses his spear, club, machete and cattle prod. He is from the Dorobo tribe, which were traditionally hunters instead of shepherds. Frances has already married, but as a moran he must still live outside the village and apart from his wife. He is also forbidden to eat meat in the presence of his wife until he becomes a junior elder of the village. That time will come within the next few years. Then, he will cut his hair short and forego the red ochre and tight braids he now wears.

    Extractions: BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER Globalisation and tourism: Deadly mix for indigenous peoples Indigenous peoples are paying a high price for tourism, says Raymond de Chavez. In their drive for profits, transnational corporations which dominate the international tourist industry have, with the complicity of governments (particularly those of the Third World), devastated the lives and lifestyles of indigenous peoples. The process of globalisation will only exacerbate their plight. GLOBALISATION and tourism have become a deadly mix for indigenous peoples. Tourism's impact on indigenous peoples' way of life and on their control of and access to their resources and environment has become more pronounced with globalisation of the world economy. For several decades now, tourism has been a major source of revenue for countries, specifically in the Third World. Its growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. In the 1950s, 25 million people travelled to a foreign destination. In the 1960s, this grew to 70 million. By 1997, 617 million tourists had been reported by the Madrid-based World Tourism Organisation to have travelled to foreign countries. The World Tourism Organisation has even predicted that by the 21st century, tourist arrivals would have reached billions annually. It foresees that by the year 2010, 1 billion tourists would have travelled abroad and by 2020, this would have increased to 1.6 billion.

The image on the bottom is a false image, an impersonation of the picture of the ancient African on the top. Many books, television shows, movies, and websites fabricate or show false images of ancient Africans, in this case the ancient Kamites (ancient Egyptians), some are just lies, others are images of Greeks and Romans who thousands of years later only imitated these Africans', appearances, mannerisms and actions. Image provided courtesy of African By Nature To express their spirituality many of the paints that the ancient Kamites (ancient Egyptians) used was water based, so the colors on the sculptures and wall paintings was usually washed off or faded by flooding or by age. Many of the wall painting have been re-painted in modern times, in some case trying to re-create the original images. In other cases the gold images have been re-painted a lighter color.

It is connected with Asia by the Sinai Peninsula (from which it is separated by the Suez Canal) and is bounded on the N by the Mediterranean Sea, on the W and S by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the E and S by the Indian Ocean. The largest offshore island is Madagascar; other islands include St. Helena and Ascension in the S Atlantic Ocean; S£o Tom©, Pr­ncipe, Annob³n, and Bioko in the Gulf of Guinea; the Cape Verde, Canary, and Madeira islands in the N Atlantic Ocean; and Mauritius, R©union, Zanzibar, Pemba, and the Comoros and Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.

The largest lakes are Victoria (the world's second largest freshwater lake), Tanganyika, Albert, Turkana, and Nyasa (or Malawi), all in E Africa; shallow Lake Chad, the largest in W Africa, shrinks considerably during dry periods. The lakes and major rivers (most of which are navigable in stretches above the escarpment of the plateau) form an important inland transportation system.
