MAASAI TRIBE - KIBIRACHI, TANZANIA 2008

gallery

I. (Male, 20Yrs Old)

I took photos of the houses we live in, where we sleep, of my mama cooking chai and rice. I also took pictures of the slaughtering of the cows and cooking the meat. Also of the children taking care of the cattle.

I would like people to come to see Maasai life. I would like to go to school. I haven't been to school because there are no schools around. I would like kids from around the world to come here for a few days to see, and I would like to go to other places as well.

J. (Male, 15Yrs Old)

I took photos of children whilst eating cows, sheep, cattle and the moranos whilst they are dancing, girls and women whilst they are dancing and old people whilst drinking alcohol and I also took photos of the chickens. I photographed everything around.

At 6am I wake up to take out the cows. I would like people to come here and see how we live, take care of the cows like we do. I would like people to try and live like us. The favourite part of my life is the cattle.

L. (Male, 20Yrs Old)

I took photos of my tribe, what they do, rituals, slaughtering the cow, cooking the meat, houses. I took photos of my young brother because I want to explain how I was when I was young. I photographed cows, goats, the moran putting the colour and bracelets for the rituals. I would like to live like Europe and go to school.

N. (Male, 17Yrs Old)

I took pictures of the morans when they were slaughtering the cow, removing the skin and cooking the meat. I took pictures of my mum whist cooking, the kitchen, the houses and I like cattle, so I took photos of cattle, sheep goats and cows and the surroundings. I would like to go to school and live a good life. If I could come to Europe I would like to do so. Hello to everyone.
