Description:The speaker continues by saying that they lived in small groups in harmony with each other. They generally had a dispute with the Maasai. However, they were in good terms with one of the Maasai families which gave them sheep and natural medicine. He then explains how they survived on fruits and hunted wild animals. He goes on to explain how white men and forest guards encroached the forest. This led to the depletion of the forest and its animals and washed away their culture.
Jane Oduor is the Okiek language documentor.
Duncan is waiting to go to college. He completed secondary school education.
Patrick works within the Okiek community as a social worker and community mobilizer. In this project he also assisted in community mobilization, video recording, translating and annotating.
