In my search so far , which is not that far on a time scale i.e around 2000 years ago, there are major movements of people in West, East and Central Africa . I think I finally have the structure in place now to begin the research proper.

Lets see how it goes and whether any DNA studies have been done by historians on major movements of people in Africa. Surely at this early time in research and reading the various articles, it seems no one can claim to have been in Kenya first because there are movements of people and kenya did not exist either. The interesting question to me is this : The Maasai community are pastoralists and have stuck to their traditions and customs, when did they become farmers that land ownership become important? I can understand the grazing part but people who historically have no fixed place as home?. Therefore any area that is fit for grazing can be called "our land", a similar theme used by the colonialists to grab land in Africa. Did the 1), 2) and 3) above use the same grabbing ideas and this land got passed down in ancestry? Also something of interest is the grazing of Maasai cattle in parts of City of Nairobi say eg during droughts. Are there bylaws carried forward that allowed this grazing based on old agreements between the city, govt and the Maasai Community?
