Kenya

A Maasai Moran (young warrior) blows a Kudu horn during a ceremony to bring the young men into manhood, the sound puts the moran into a trance. Very rapidly Africas' Pastoralists (animal herders) are loosing their way of life. Severe land pressure is forcing them and, through confiscation or enticed by a monetary alterative, removing them from their land and herds. Thus bringing to an end a way of life that has worked well for the continent for many generations.
