Who I am

I just thought it would be a good idea to clearly record who I am and where I come from so that there is a permannt record somewhere.  Mommy has been gathering as much information about this sort of stuff as she can for me. 

I belong to two different tribes of the northern Tanzanian region.

The first is a very well known tribe, the Massai. 

The Maasai are an indigenous African ethnic group of semi-nomadic people located in Kenya and northern Tanzania. Due to their distinctive customs and dress and residence near the many game parks of East Africa, they are among the most well known of African ethnic groups.  They speak Maa, a member of the Nilo-Saharan language family that is related to Dinka and Nuer, and are also educated in the official languages of Kenya and Tanzania: Swahili and English. The Maasai population has been variously estimated as 377,089 from the 1989 Census or as 453,000 language speakers in Kenya in 1994 and 430,000 in Tanzania in 1993 with a total estimated as "approaching 900,000" Estimates of the respective Maasai populations in both countries are complicated by the remote locations of many villages, and their semi-nomadic nature.  My biological mothers side is Massai.

I am also part of the Mrangi tribe.  Sadly there is very little information out there about the Mrangi tribe, but my Mommy will keep looking to see what she can find.  In the meantime, I at least have a record of where I have come from. 

And now, I am part of the Bowman tribe!  I'm pretty lucky to have so many places that love me.....I am a massai warrior, a Mrangi, a Bowman, a Tanzanian, a little Norwegian and a soon to be American!  Most important of all, I am very loved and very happy!
