Keeper Of Fortune

"I am a daughter of Africa and I am proud of my birthright and heritage."

"I am the ol-payian, the junior elder - the father. Warrior hood was exciting but I was pleased to become an elder even though I had to have my head shaved. Now I have married and am privileged to be able to take part in tribal discussions."

"I am en-tito, a Maasai maiden. I am not yet eligble to marry so I spend much of my time creating my magnificent beadwork and making myself pretty for the moran - the warrios. I have mixed ochre in the mixing bowl and I am going to help my friend decorate herself with it and then she in turn will help me in turn. I am enjoying being free and feeling the admiring glances of the warriors."
