While you travel to the indigenous

It would be fair if all travelers who visit the indigenous people observes a few natural regulations as a measure to maintain respect between the visitor and the indigenous people. This blogger is a Maasai from Kenya therefore he has the mandate to speak on his behalf.

Tourism should be beneficial to both the indigenous people and their nations.

Unfortunately, indigenous people becomes objectified not only by their states, but also by the irresponsible tourist. This must stop. The indigenous people are asking you to respect them as human beings and extend the appreciation of being able to share that moment with them on equal terms.

We do not demand more that what we are entitled to by the law of nature, equal respect and acknowledgment. When you visit us, show to the world that you care and you respect us because we always do our best to respect our visitors.

We welcome you to come and share your culture with us, and we ask you to live us as we are. We are working feverishly to acquire our homegrown change that we deem is essential for our existence. We thank you for your cooperation.
