Kenya-Culture-Msai
Nixon Kupera Ole Metoi, 25, sits inside his " Manyatta", his home in the community made of cow dug, after he was ordained Msai age-group leader of the Iltuati morans in the village of Mbirukani in Kajiado on June 27, 2015. The ordination of Metoi is a symbolic gesture that carries with it great influence, respect and power not only among his age-mates but also the wider community. The Msai are a Nilotic ethnic group of semi-nomadic people inhabiting southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of the African Great Lakes and their distinctive customs and dresses.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the heart of Kenya's vibrant culture as we witness Nixon Kupera Ole Metoi, a 25-year-old member of the Msai tribe, sitting inside his "Manyatta" - a traditional home made from cow dung. The significance of this image lies in Metoi's recent ordination as the leader of the Iltuati morans, an age-group within the village of Mbirukani in Kajiado. This ordination is not merely a ceremonial act; it carries immense influence, respect, and power both among Metoi's peers and throughout the wider community. As part of one of Africa's most renowned ethnic groups, known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle and distinctive customs and attire, this portrait offers us a glimpse into their rich heritage. The lighting beautifully illuminates Metoi's face as he sits with quiet confidence amidst his humble abode. His expression reflects wisdom beyond his years and hints at the weighty responsibilities that come with his newfound role. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring traditions that shape Kenyan society. Simon Maina skillfully captures not only an individual but also an entire cultural narrative through this image. It reminds us that there is much more to be discovered about our diverse world than what meets the eye – stories waiting to be told by those who dare to venture beyond familiar horizons.
