General discussion on indigenous category
I don't feel comfortable about categories that seem to be motivated by misconceptions (re: there has been a misconception that these peoples... ). I also think this category has POV problems (read Maasai and Mukogodo-Maasai to see one obvious problem). In North America and Australia, this seems to be a term that is commonly used. In Africa however it isn't. Let's stick to using it only where is is in common use — I don't see why we would need to add almost every single ethno-stub to this category. — mark 12:53, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) edit
Validity, usefulness and what should be included?
I should like to further explore in some detail the notions on whether or not this Category is a valid, useful, or desirable one. In my view, I believe that it is (or can be made so- at present, it has only a few, almost random entries, and as such is deficient). In response to some likely questions:
  • Is there a valid and recognised sense in which the term or label indigenous peoples is applied to a variety of cultural groups in some "unifying" way - given their obviously great diversity of experience, culture and history? Yes. Apart from its "everyday" meaning, the term has a real and specific usage found in national and international law, political, historical and anthropological academia, and specialised organisational and representational literature. Contemporary usage or identification as indigenous is an often quite explicit, even political act, made by the communities themselves or other organisations. The current main

    http://www.travelafricamag.com/content/view/611/111/
    The premier resource for all things African People of Kenya PhotoSchool Edition 28: Summer 2004
    From his home in Nairobi, Nigel Pavitt has travelled extensively throughout East and Central Africa, photographing indigenous people and landscapes. For the last 15 years he has photographed the customs and traditions of pastoral societies. Here he shares what he has learned.
    Kenya is home to more than forty tribes, all with their own languages and distinctive customs. The tall Maasai warriors, resplendent with long ochre braids, are arguably the most famous. Many tribal customs and modes of dress have disappeared over the past half century and many more will do so in a world where people from developing countries aspire to Western lifestyles. In the harsh environment of northern Kenya, however, most people still live a traditional life.
    Unreliable rainfall and poor soil make stock husbandry their only means of livelihood. Some tribes are nomadic, following the seasonal pattern of grazing and rain while others are semi-nomadic. Visitors travelling by road to the southeast shores of Lake Turkana, the Jade Sea, glimpse a vast unspoilt wilderness, rugged mountains, inhospitable lava fields and colourful people eking out a living. They include the pastoral Samburu (-maa speaking people related to the Maasai), Turkana nomads, the camel-owning Rendille and Kenya's smallest tribe, the El Molo, living on the lakeshores north of Loiengalani.
    Travel to the far north of Kenya is not easy. Visitors keen to photograph traditional people are well advised to find a reliable local guide who can break the ice, making a visit to a village or a homestead friendlier and more enjoyable. Usually, I avoid the well-beaten tracks. Despite my knowledge of remote areas, I always take an interpreter as many people don't understand East Africa's lingua franca, Ki-Swahili, let alone English.

    Concentrations in three main geographical regions - Western Kenya and Lake Victoria region (Luhya, Kisii), east of Rift Valley, (Kikuyu, Embu, Kamba) and Coastal belt (Mijikenda).
    Nilotic
    Represented by the Luo, Kalenjin, Maasai and related groups. The Kalenjin linguistic group is concentrated in the area north to south and west of the central highlands, while the Luos are concentrated in the Lake Victoria Basin.
    Cushitic
    Somali speaking group occupying eastern portions of the arid and semi-arid north eastern Kenya. Rendille and Orma speaking groups occupy the north western part.
    30 distinct languages or dialects are spoken in Kenya. Swahili
    Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighboring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa.
    Dating the origins of Swahili is not an easy task. It seems clear that the language was spoken at the coast during the 13th century. Some authors propose a much more ancient origin: in his work "Journey through the Erithraean Sea", a greek trader named Diogene who visited the East African coast in the year 110 A.D. told that the arab traders who regularly sailed the coast talked to the natives in their local language, which could represent the first historical reference to Swahili.

    Safari Travel Destinations
    To this day, East Africa remains the finest wildlife paradise on earth. Travelling through landscapes of staggering beauty, witnessing the fascinating traditional lifestyles of the indigenous peoples, living among the spectacular herds of game and sleeping under canvas beneath the vast African sky, stimulates all the senses; the never-to-be-forgotten experiences that provoke moments of profound reflection. As Mick Jagger wrote in our guest book, it “Took me back.” Africa takes people back to their roots, to childhood dreams of striped horses, spotted cats, and giraffe, creatures impossible to believe until you see them in their natural habitat, in the landscape where our own kind began. Robin Hurt Photo Safaris supports sustainable ecotourism and to this end we patronize community group ranches that promote conservation in such areas as Il Ngwesi and Namunyak in northern Kenya. Both Kenya and Tanzania are acclaimed for their political stability; the people are helpful and friendly, and officials, polite and courteous.

    The Tribes of Namibia (including the Herero, Himba, Nama and Damara) Nama/Hottentot
    The Nama people make up about 5% of Namibia’s population, and are traditionally stock farmers. Their traditional crafts include leatherwork (aprons and collecting bags), skin karosses and mats, musical instruments (eg: reed flutes), jewellery, clay pots and tortoise-shell powder containers. Damara
    They make up about 7.5% of Namibia’s population, sharing their language with Namas. Traditionally Damara people have been thought of as miners, smelters, copper traders, stock farmers and tobacco growers; until the end of the 19th century when they moved to Damaraland and started practising agriculture. Their traditional crafts include leather goods, glass and metal beadwork, wooden bowls and buckets, clay pipes and bowls, and more recently ‘township art’ such as wire cars. Herero
    In 1904, the Herero and the Hottentots staged a massive uprising against the German colonial troops in South West Africa. It ended in a bloody massacre of over half the total Herero population at the battle of Waterberg. The few Herero that survived fled into the Kalahari, some crossing into what is now Botswana. Today, the Herero constitute the third largest ethnic group in Namibia, after the Owambo and Kavango – about 8% of the present population. Their language is Bantu-based. In Botswana, they are a minority group inhabiting Ngamiland, south and west of the Okavango Delta.

    African Indigenous Women: Fall 2005 Speaking Tour Bios
    Lucy Mulenkei is Chair of the African Indigenous Women’s Organization (AIWO) and Executive Director of the Indigenous Information Network (IIN), an organization founded by Indigenous Peoples in Kenya to enhance the political participation of Indigenous Peoples and become more effective in making demands of the government and securing their human rights. The women served by IIN live in rural communities where they have extremely limited access to outside news and information. IIN works to combat the limitations imposed by this isolation by bringing trainings and workshops on human rights, HIV/AIDS and forced female genital mutilation into homes and schools in remote Maasai, Samburu, Rendille, Turkana and other Indigenous communities.
    Related Materials
    Ms. Mulenkei is deeply involved with African and international networks of Indigenous women and has played an important role in many UN conferences and forums, including the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the World Conference against Racism and the Beijing Review Processes.
