One of the most celebrated peoples of Africa, the Maasai have roamed the land for centuries, ignoring the national boundaries that sprung up around them. But today, they are finding themselves increasingly restricted and misunderstood by the modern Africa that now encircles them.

The Maasai Oral Histories Project aims to record and archive Maasai oral histories, myths, rituals, stories, laws, and beliefs, which are traditionally passed on by senior elders.
