Read the segment from "The Beginnings of the Maasai."
In the very early days of the world, Enkai was the sole deity: the protector of rain, fertility, sunlight, and love. From that love, Enkai gave birth to three sons who became the Patriarchs of the three tribes. Enkai provided each tribe with a gift to assist them in thriving in their new environment. For the Father of the Kikuyu, Enkai granted a farming implement to cultivate the plains. To the Father of the Kamba, a bow and arrow were presented so that his people could hunt wild animals in the woodlands and fields. To my father, Neiterkob, the Father of the Maasai, Enkai presented a stick.
