Welcome to the Rendille!

 

"Welcome to the Rendille" video title

This is a presentation made in Steve’s early days among the Rendille people of northern Kenya. It’s slightly dated (umm… 1984!), but still gives a good impression of the traditional Rendille way of life, which has changed little in recent decades. It also illustrates some of the stages involved in reducing a spoken language to writing, and beginning to understand a very different culture. Enjoy!
