The Samburu tribe where the oldest is king
The Samburu tribe where the oldest is king
This is the Samburu tribe, a tribe of warriors and herders living in the harsh but beautiful landscape of northern Kenya. The Samburu people are the true gem that represent the African culture because of certain standards they’ve upheld for years.
The Samburu tribe, is a semi-nomadic tribe. Only the Samburu people are still very traditional and have not parted with old customs as compared to their neighbours, the Maasai Tribe. Cattle, as well as goats, sheep and camels, play a vital role in the Samburu way of life and culture. The Samburu are highly dependent on their livestock for survival. Their diet comprises mostly of milk and occasionally blood from their cows. The blood is accrued by slightly cutting the jugular of the cow, and draining the blood into a cup. The wound is then promptly sealed with hot ash. Meat is only served on special occasions. The Samburu people's diet is also supplemented with vegetables, roots and tubers that are made into a soup.
Samburu land is mostly dry barren land, and the Samburu tribe have to relocate to be certain their cattle have enough food. Every few weeks the tribe will change location to find fresh grazing grounds.
Huts are constructed using hide, mud, and grass mats strung over poles. A fence is built around the mud huts for protection from wild animals. The Samburu tribe settlements are called manyattas. The Samburu usually dwell in groups of five to ten families. Traditionally Samburu men look after their cattle and they are also responsible for the overall safety of the tribe.
Samburu women are responsible for gathering vegetables and roots, caring for their children and collecting water. Samburu girls usually help their mothers with domestic chores.
The Samburu are a gerontocracy, a system where the most elderly rule the tribe. It is the elders that decide when ceremonies will occur, such as weddings and circumcisions. Entry into womanhood and manhood is marked with a circumcision ceremony. Men and women are only able to get married once they have been circumcised, as prior to that they are still considered as children.
Once a boy has been circumcised he is now considered a Moran, meaning warrior. The men are placed into age sets, and as a group move from one social position to another. From child to Moran, to junior elder and finally to elder.
The traditional dress of the Samburu tribe is a striking red cloth wrapped like a skirt and a white sash. This is adorned with many colorful beaded earrings, bracelets, anklets and necklaces. Each piece of jewellery worn represents the status of the wearer.
Dancing is a significant part of Samburu culture. Their dancing is similar to that of the Maasai people with men dancing in a circle and jumping high from a standing position. Traditionally, the Samburu tribe does not use any instrument to accompany their dancing and singing.
The Samburu people are under pressure from their government to settle into more permanent villages. They have resisted this proposal thus far, since a permanent settlement would disrupt their entire way of life. And it will be difficult to grow and maintain crops on a permanent site.
This is the Samburu tribe, a people of strength, beauty, and tradition.

    Hi, Indian here. I see people fighting over the these african car manufacturers, are these cars really produced by them. Firstly there are multiple types of vehicle productions. In all the videos i have seen so far of the African manufacturer is that they are making ground up commercial vehicles such as vans and buses with Chinese components(major experiments like engine, critical component) and local body panels. Which is a good thing progressive wise. But the cars and the suvs of all the manufacturers are just rebadged ckd and cbu units which will not yield much to the local population in any way. As they are completely manuftured in china and shipped to your country's. With which the local population will bot get either employment or value for the car. As all aeem to premium suvs or cars which a rich or a middle income buyer will not prefer. Rich will go for Mercedes/ bmw and middle income will go for for a used or a new toyota / Suzuki, as they will be value for their money. If these manufacturers really want to improve the african pride, economy and life of the people they partner with established brands i.e Suzuki or Hyundai and bring low cost cars to start with . So that there can localisation of the major components of the car sucha s engine etc. Else africa will be a dumping groung for unsold models of the Chinese manufacturers

    Africa is the cradle of the world and the American Indians the most civilized people, who lived in harmony with the beauty of nature and did not try to control nature as America today. As a world traveled I have been to the most civilized and most non civilized places on the planet over a span of 69 years. Over population breeding can turn a country in a bad way along with a country that worships money, greed freedom for all and the lust for a quick fix covered with ignorance and violence etc. In America it is so arrogant to call itself the greatest country in the world It is a bad joke along with China that eats dogs. Leaving behind many other places and people not time to mention. A civilized country needs morals, ethics and respect for nature and each other. The saying of more is less and less is more is true. In places where there is a strong friendly community and lack of worship for power gold and lust for material garbage is far more civilized that a country that cannot ever have enough. A country where the word freedom that allows any Moran to perform is a bad country so in closing what brings to mind that a child in Africa you might call poor of material garbage has a smile on its face very wide, while a child in America has a cell phone as its only form of anything much except anger on its face and always wanting more.
