The Ogiek have lived across the whole of the vast swathe of moorland covering Mt. Elgon since time immemorial. In Mt. Elgon and Tans-Nzoia Districts they are historically and traditionally acknowledged minority, hunter gatherer community who turned pastoralists . Today the population in their age-old home ground numbers about 15,000 including children. At the advent of colonial period the Chepkitale Ndorobos were treated as a different ethnic community to any other community on or around Mt. Elgon. They were given the misnomer of the Elgonyi or Mt Elgon Masaai or the dorobo. |
