PUBLISHED: <a href="https://bokete.jp/odai/3356814" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bokete.jp/odai/3356814</a> The El Molo are an ethnic group mainly inhabiting the northern Eastern Province of Kenya. They historically spoke the El Molo language as a mother tongue, an Afro-Asiatic language of the Cushitic branch. The modern El Molo are believed to be nearly extinct, with only a handful of unmixed members left. The El Molo are believed to have originally migrated down into the Great Lakes area around 1000 BC from Ethiopia in the more northerly Horn region. Owing to the arid environment in which they entered, they are held to have then abandoned agricultural activities in favor of lakeside fishing The El Molo today primarily inhabit the northern Eastern Province of Kenya. They are concentrated in Marsabit District, the southeast shore of Lake Turkana, and El Molo bay. In the past, they also dwelled in parts of the Northern Frontier District. As of 2007, there were an estimated 700 El Molo representatives. However, historians have noted that there are few pure El Molo left. Most group members are today admixed with adjacent Nilotic populations, with only a handful of unmixed El Molo believed to exist. Many El Molo have also adopted cultural customs from these communities en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Molo_people This has been scanned from a Kodachrome transparency |
