The Yaaku people live in the Mukogodo forest west of Mount Kenya.
The Yaaku are fighting for the recognition of their identity and the control over their territory. They are striving for communal property of the forest, which is now administered by the state. To strengthen their sense of identity, they are trying to revive their language.
The song of Nkapilil Supuko is about the blessing of all Dorobo: hunter-gatherers.
