The little ORETETI - Plants in the daily life of the Maasai
The little ORETETI - Plants in the daily life of the Maasai transcribes the oral Maasai tradition through the use, the value and the meaning of the most important wild plants in the every day life of the Maasai people.
This book is meant for the Maasai youth and school children and for all the people who would like to have a glimpse into the richness of the Maasai flora and culture.
The little ORETETI might be an incentive to discover the more complete book called ORETETI written by Kenny Matampash and Lucie Hubert, from which this smaller version has been drawn.
