I LOVE IT -- THANKS - I LOVE THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE VILLAGE.

I can't help but notice that so much of this reminds me of what I saw in the Pentecostal church growing up Crying and much of the same sounds, oddly ( they call it speaking in tongues) the emotional expression and falling out on the floor.. hmmm, I wonder if it inherent in the DNA wiring of melanated people to be very emotional and expressive. I thinks so.

I don't understand why there was a group of non-Masai people standing around.. do they actually invite outsiders to their ceremonies? Or were these people intruding?
Beautiful group of people the Masai are!

Indeed it is a very serious step for the Maasai men to join the junior elder age set. They in effect mourn for their loss of freedom and prestige associated with being a morani or warrior. Married life in comparison to the free life is boring too.
I cant blame them for being upset. Some show it more than others.

That long, huh? I guess that's a long time to hold a prestigious position and then lose it.
However, I must say that it hurts me a little that becoming and "elder" means you lose respect. When I think of an elder, I think of someone who is full of wisdom and experience and should be respected. And one would think that the new keepers of the village would look to the elders for guidance. Do they?

It is true, the Masai value their elders greatly, and respect their wisdom, and have none of the disregard for older people that is sometimes shown in the West. However, as with the passing of any high position in life, the Morani who have to step down from their positions, do feel an incredible loss, and some handle it better than others! I think at this event, one deranged person seemed to trigger an epidemic! Equivalent, say, of young people in the West letting off steam!!!

oh good gravy, is it that serious? you'd think some of them were possessed!
does anyone know how long each group of "keepers of the village" stays in their positions?
tncutiepie83 3 years ago
Yes,it was very serious. To become an 'elder'
is quite an upsetting prospect because it means losing their status of 'Morani' and all
the respect that comes with the position.
To answer your question; the keepers of the village, or Morani, keep their position for between 15 to 18 years, because it is this length of time before the next initiation ceremony takes place.
