Kikuyu, and are closely related to the

Embu,Meru combined.And in Many Kikuyu is

actually the Swahili pronunciation of

the more correct term the Akua or Agra

Queen as they call themselves.I actually

personally know several Kikuyu people,

and I can at least to their warm,gentle,

kind spirit and I'm really not just

saying that like from my experience.

There are some of the most show Africans

I've ever met now.The Kikuyu belonged to

the north eastern Bantu branch bands who

people began moving into East Africa

some time before 500 CE II.Now scholars

aren't exactly sure from what exact

point they migrated from to be in their

current location today in Kenya but it's

generally believed that they came from a

further northeastern region,around the

15th century. Traditional,Kikuyu are

monotheists who believe in a supreme god

and guy.Kikuyu origin myths claim that

their first ancestors Kikuyu and his

wife Mumbi were given Kikuyu land by the

and god, who is believed to reside on

Mount Kenya. Mumbai bor ghi KU you nine

daughters who then founded the nine main

clans of the Kikuyu,the Supreme God and

as either mangu or a naga in

remembrance of what and when a Naga has

given them.The Kikuyu addressed some

thus in their prayers to our heavenly

great elder, we are thankful for the

natural gifts which you have bestowed

upon us,

unlike the lands of our neighbours. Some

of which you passed over in a hurry, and

through one river here and another there,

leaving the rest of the country dry.And

in many places unforced it remembering

this we surely believe that even as you

gave us all the good things of life, you

will not doubt always give us wisdom to

make good strong Spears and sharpen them,

elder you will give us knowledge to make

strong bows and arrows that shoot well

enemies at bay, who seek to take our

cattle and therefore starve our women

and children and make the tribe weak.

Oh and when a Naga who dwelleth on

so that when our enemies come to close

quarters, we will be able with your

guidance and our strong muscles to drive

our spears right through their hearts,

and prevent them from depriving us of

the gifts which you the Lord of nature

have bestowed on us. We pledge to you all

because it plays a role in baku you

history later by the end of the 1600s.

slopes of mount kenya and the nearby

highlands, the Kikuyu had generally good

relations with the messiah as the

east Africa. The British during colonial

rule displaced many Kikuyu from their

movement in Kenya called the Mau Mau

of the Kikuyu prior to my Netanyahu.

Kenya's first president of a liberated

Kenya. Jomo Kenyatta channelled this

ancestral spirit to drive the Kikuyu to

their ultimate victory and their

independence from British rule. Jomo

Kenyatta is quoted as saying communion

with the spirits is perpetuated through

contact with the soil in which the

ancestors of the Tri lie buried this

importance of soil to the Kikuyu, the Mau
