The Nandi Circumcision Ritual

by Kevin Kurgat
(Nairobi, Kenya)

These pictures are from the Nandi tribe of Kenya. This is the Nandi circumcision tradition that only takes place during December. It is one of the surviving cultures of all time, since a very long time I am told.

genital mutilation NEW
by: Anonymous

The idea of female circumcision comes to fore. It should be encouraged as a way of retaining our rich culture. I believe it was done for a purpose as i will highlight in my book. Let us discourage those who call it genital mutilation, it is female circumcision. If we are to call mutilation let us with one accord in the same measure also call male genital mutilation what we otherwise call male circumcision. nice photo

Some things should not be photographed NEW
by: Anonymous

As a westerner and professional photographer I find the sharing of these photographs to be offensive. These photographs depict a sacred ritual which should not be shared or documented via the internet or through a photograph. I suggest these photographs are removed from your website.

Female Circumcision is OK? NEW
by: Anonymous

Let me guess. Male circumcision is fine and female circumcision isn't. Neither are OK in my book.

try to evade stupidity NEW
by: Cheruiyot arap Kosgei, Cherang'any

It is stupid to unveil the contents of one's hidden cultural secrets. If at all one did not underwent the ritual of the initiation he/she should leave it to the owners. I am severely hurt by your move to openly spread our culture's secrets to the entire world. "Ngobenyaak chii kolelit" didn't the elders of old say this? May the wrath of the Nandi people fall on you outcast.
