Click here to return to the course list. ANTH 1116: PEOPLES AND CULTURES OF EAST AFRICA East Africa enjoys an extraordinary degree of social and cultural diversity, with representatives of all four of the major cultures families of the continent occurring in the region. How did this cultural variety arise, how does it relate to environmental diversity we find in East Africa? Amidst diversity how has the region evolved a high degree of social commonality and cohesion? This course will provide academic context for pursuing field study in East Africa. Including team teaching it will offer background to the history, politics, languages, and cultures of the region, and will focus on study of those societies visited during the program. These will include representatives of the major cultures of the region: Bantu, Nilotic and Cushitic-speakers. The course will includes an introductory overview of the peopling of East Africa, the emergence of ethic groups and evolution of the human use of natural resources, drawing on recent work in genetics archaeology, historical linguistic, and pre-colonial history. We will examine reports written by early explorers, who describe peoples encountered and their own responses to them, and will ask whether these documents reflect accurate accounts of East African societies, and in what ways might they be biased? We will investigate the structure and function of some major social institutions that characterize East Africa s culture groups, among them: local forms of agrarian economy, indigenous environmental knowledge; environmental adaptations, territory and political organization; kinship, age-organization, family, and domestic life; and cultural traditions ; oral literature, ritual, religion and music.

Maasai From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A Maasai tribesman The Maasai or Masai , an indigenous African tribe of semi- nomadic people located primarily in Kenya and northern Tanzania , are probably one of the most familiar tribes of East Africa . Despite the growth of modern civilisation, the Maasai have largely managed to stay out of the mainstream and maintain their traditional ways, although this becomes more challenging each year. Contents Demography Identity Culture See also ... edit Demography The estimated total population of the Maasai people is about 900,000, with about 350,000-453,000 Maasai living in Kenya. The accuracy of these statistics is in question, however, due to the inefficiencies of government census in the region. edit Identity The Maasai are part of the Nilotic family of African tribal groups, and probably migrated from the Nile valley in Sudan to central and south-western Kenya and northern Tanzania sometime after AD, bringing their domesticated cattle with them. The Maasai speak the Maasai language , an Eastern Nilotic language closely related to Samburu (or Sampur), the language of the

Long-term treaties between Britain and the Maasai came to an end in 2004 sparking conflicts in parts of southern Kenya. In 2004, 22 people were killed in the conflict between pastoralists and encroaching agricultural communities in the Rift Valley. New violence in 2005 involved allegations of government troops killing herders. Indigenous peoples of Kenya, with IPACC support, were active in the process of constitutional review in 2003-2004. In 2004, the emphasis has been on the National Land Policy formulation. Indigenous peoples were not initially involved but following protests they have been included by the National Land Commission as a representative delegation of both hunter-gatherer and pastoralist peoples. Vice Chairperson of IPACC, Mary Simat was interviewed on television representing indigenous issues in discussion with the Permanent Secretary. Mrs Simat has emphasised that urban policy makers do not know the situation on the ground for rural indigenous peoples. Land tenure issues require sensitivity to indigenous cultures and sustainable economic strategies. Mrs Simat leads a working group of herders and hunters who have been invited to join a government reference group on land issues.

Indigenous peoples' rights and development Indigenous peoples' rights and development 'These Dorobo [i.e. Ogiek]  have been "driven like chaff before a wind of progression"  we should now recommend a definite reserve for them.'5 This conclusion of the Carter Land Commission6 (1932-8) gives a picture of what the Ogiek have undergone over the years. The Commission recommended that the Ogiek be allocated land near communities with whom they had affinity, to enable assimilation. However, the Ogiek wanted development on their own terms. According to Kaliasoi Chesimet, an Ogiek elder in Tinet: 'The newcomers came and  cut down the forest for tea and flower farms the Ogiek should be allowed to elect their own leaders and choose their own way of life on their land.' From colonial times onwards, Ogiek groups have been displaced from their ancestral lands without consultation, consent or compensation. They have been excluded from development plans and pushed onto land that is not suitable for their way of life. Joseph Towett sums it up: 'We are not only being dispossessed of our ancestral lands, our livelihoods are being killed. They say  that we must develop: but tell me, where or what is this development?'7 Human rights scholars have warned that development can be a catalyst for ethnocide.8

close Kenya's Castaways: The Ogiek and National Development Processes The Ogiek, who number around 20,000, are arguably the largest hunter-gatherer community in Kenya. They have identified themselves as an indigenous people, as defined in Article 1(b) of International Labour Organization Convention No. 169,1 and the United Nations (UN) and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights have recognized them as such. Today, the Ogiek occupy the Mau Escarpment and Aberdare around the Rift Valley, as well as part of the Mt Elgon Forest in western Kenya. The clan (Oret), constituted by several local groups, is the land holding unit, and the most important unit socially. The Ogiek do not have centralized leadership institutions like chieftaincies or political councils.4 This report focuses on the displacement of the Ogiek people from their land, their underdevelopment and the threat to their culture. It also assesses the impact on the Ogiek of the loss of their land. Indigenous peoples' rights and development 'These Dorobo [i.e. Ogiek] … have been "driven like chaff before a wind of progression" … we should now recommend a definite reserve for them.'5

Save it. Continued from page 4. Paramount among Maasai concerns is the issue of land titling. Outside of protected areas in Tanzania, the 1975 Villages and Ujamaa Villages Act and the 1999 Village Land Act apply. These Acts provide for establishing villages with demarcated boundaries, and village certificates or land titles. Each village has a Council that serves as a local government having the responsibility to manage land within village boundaries. In contrast, all land within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is "reserved land", to be managed by the NCAA (URT 1999:4950). This means that the NCA Maasai have no village land titles, and no authority to manage land and resource use within their villages. In light of the history of land alienation for protected areas in Tanzania, and the priority given to conservation and tourism in NCA policymaking, the Maasai fear that without land titles, they could one day be forced to move out of the NCA (Lane 1996:18; Shivji and Kapinga 1998).

TAKING STOCK IN TANZANIA: PASTORALIST NGOS AND THE INDIGENOUS QUESTION (Draft of an Association of Social Anthropologists Conference Paper) By Greg Cameron 1. The Emergence of the Pastoralist Indigenous NGOs (PINGOs) Forum The passing of the Land Bill by the Bunge (Parliament) in Dodoma in 1998 was the official culmination of a process set in motion some ten years earlier when the Tanzanian government, bowing to the pressures of the International Monetary Fund, commenced its disengagement from the national economy of Tanzania. For some in the Tanzanian NGO community it merely signalled the de jure recognition by the state that pasture lands were officially open for sale . Indeed the social and economic problems of transhumant pastoralists, who move their livestock seasonally, have increased due to schemes that largely ignore their traditional land rights whether it be from state farms, conservation interests, private agribusiness, or in-migration by small scale agriculturalists. Pastoralists have been the main victims of land settlement and registration policies in Tanzania . Mobilized and registered during the beginning of the transition to political liberalisation, these pastoralist organizations worked hard together advocating on the problem of land alienation in pastoralist areas from the local to international levels. In June 1993, pastoralist NGOs formed a task force to establish an advocacy centre and to coordinate donor and local NGO activities. Early in 1994, pastoralist NGOs held several meetings with the aim of strengthening the task force on advocacy and coordination, and establishing different means of collaboration and mutual support. On 5 March 1994, a meeting of pastoralist NGOs in Arusha decided to convene a special meeting to be held in Terrat-Simanjaro in the Maasai Steppe to form a CBO/NGO network for pastoralist and hunters/gatherers. On 8 April 1994, PINGOs Forum was established as an open and informal network with the aim of supporting and facilitating mutual support of participating organizations.
