Image description

PHOTO TAKEN 19DEC03, A young Maasai sings and dances the day before his graduation to manhood ceremony in Kisaju, 80 km east of Kenya's capital Nairobi, December 19, 2003. When Maasai boys reach the age of 15, they have a ceremony which initiates them into manhood. They make head-dresses of ostrich plumes and eagle feathers, shave their heads, are circumcised and become Morani or young warriors. With others of the same age, they colour their skin red and braid their ocher coloured hair intricately and set off together to learn survival techniques. Taking control of the fight against AIDS in an unprecedented move, the warrior leaders pronounced changes in the centuries-old rules for sexual and social actions during the graduation to manhood ceremony on December 20, 2003, in order to stop the spread of the scourge among their people, a precedent which must be followed by all of the 400,000 Maasai and their Maa speaking neighbours.
