Most importantly Kenyans are united under the Black, White Red and Green colors of the flag and the spirit of Harambee \u2013 which means pulling together as a community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Traditional African beliefs play a significant role in the lives of Kenyans in spite of adapting to modern values. Kenyans practice traditional values of humility, concern for neighbors and maintenance of kinship ties. Activities such as marriage, child naming, burials and other rites of passage are still heavily influenced by traditional beliefs and practices and range from community to community. Some communities have retained more of the traditional African lifestyle than others and consequently have gained great respect (and curiosity) internationally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Languages<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kenya is a linguistically diverse country where majority of population speak at least 3 languages. In addition to the 42 ethnic dialects,\u00a0English\u00a0is the official language while\u00a0Swahili(Kiswahili) is the national language spoken by almost every Kenyan. \u00a0Sheng\u00a0a mixture of Swahili and English, with a bit of other indigenous languages is also commonly spoken in urban areas and has gained popularity amongst politicians and advertisements agencies who try to diversify their audience and target the youths.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Common Foods<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Staple foods include; Ugali, rice, bread, chapati Nyama (Meats): Beef, chicken, Goat, Samaki (Fish): Tilapia, Omena (sardines) and Vegetables. When in Kenya, most people will invite you to enjoy Nyama Choma- open fire grilled red meat with ugali (Cornmeal) and Sukumawiki (Collard Greens)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Arts &amp; Crafts<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kenya is a hub for beautiful culturally inspired arts and crafts. Some of the items are sold as memorabilia to our visitors and they include:\u00a0 sisal baskets, Maasai bead jewelry, musical instruments, soapstone sculptures, animal wooden carvings, tribal masks, paintings and prints on batik clothes, sculptures, kangas-women\u2019s wraparound skirts with beautiful patterns with swahili proverbs printed on them, kikoi textile sarongs and more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aziza.com.ng\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Heritage-site-of-Kenya.jpg\" alt=\"Heritage site of Kenya\" width=\"819\" height=\"458\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heritage site of Kenya<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>HERITAGE SITES IN KENYA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The\u00a0Heritage Sites\u00a0are places of importance to\u00a0cultural\u00a0or\u00a0natural heritage\u00a0as described in the Heritage Convention, established in 1972.Kenya\u00a0accepted the convention, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. As of 2018, there are seven Heritage Sites in Kenya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of the Heritage sites in Kenya:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1:<\/strong> <strong>Lake Turkana National Parks<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Being the most saline of East Africa\u2019s large lakes, Turkana is an outstanding laboratory for the study of plant and animal families. The three National Parks serve as a stopover for migrant waterfowl and are major breeding grounds for the Nile crocodile, hippopotamus, and a variety of venomous snakes. The Koobi Fora deposits, rich in mammalian, molluscan and other fossil remains, have contributed more to the understanding of paleo-environments than any other site on the continent.\u00a0The Lake Turkana National Parks were inscribed onto the Heritage List in 1997 and are now under the joint management of Kenya Wildlife services (KWS) and NMK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2: Mount Kenya National Park and Forest<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With its rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes, Mount Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa.\u00a0The National Park and Forest, founded in 1949, was added to the list of kenya Heritage Sites in 1997, and is under the joint management of KWS and the Museum (NMK). The aim was to protect Mount Kenya, along with its wildlife and environment. The natural environment is crucial as a natural habitat for the animal species that live in the area. It also acts as a water catchment area that provides water to Kenya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3: Lamu Old Town<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lamu Old Town is the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa, retaining its traditional functions. Built in coral stone and mangrove timber, the town is characterized by the simplicity of structural forms, enriched by such features as inner courtyards, verandas, and elaborately carved wooden doors. Lamu has hosted major Muslim religious festivals since the 19th century, and has become a significant center for the study of Islamic and Swahili cultures. Lamu old town was gazetted on 20\/6\/1986 and added to the list of cultural Heritage Sites in 2001.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4: The Sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Mijikenda Kaya Forests consist of 11 separate forest sites, spread over some 200 km along the coast. They contain the remains of numerous fortified villages, known as kayas, of the Mijikenda people. The kayas, created in the 16th century but abandoned by the 1940s, are now regarded as the abodes of ancestors, revered as sacred sites and, as such, are maintained by councils of elders. These sites were inscribed to the list of Heritage Sites in 2008. The Coastal Forest Conservation unit (CFCu) was constituted by NMK to oversee the conservation efforts of these sacred forests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5: The Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2011. It is a natural property of outstanding beauty, comprising of three inter-linked, relatively shallow lakes (Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita), and covers a total area of 32,034 hectares. Some of the world\u2019s greatest diversities and concentrations of bird species are recorded within these relatively small lake systems. They are jointly managed by Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) and NMK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6: Fort Jesus, Mombasa: An Architectural Masterpiece<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Built by the Portuguese at the end of the 16th century, Fort Jesus stands at the southern edge of Mombasa, over a spur of coral rock. It was kept under Portuguese control for one century, and is testimony to the first successful attempt by Western civilization to rule the Indian ocean trade routes \u2013 which, until then, had remained under Eastern influence. This historical site was gazetted on 12\/6\/1970 and inscribed to the Heritage list in 2011.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7: Thimlich Ohinga archaeological site<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Thimlich Ohinga cultural site was gazetted as a national monument on 4\/6\/1982 and added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2018.\u00a0Thimlich Ohinga refers to a \u201cfrightening dense forest\u201d in Dholuo language, a Nilotic group who occupy the region. The stone structure enclosure has walls ranging from 1.0 to 4.2 meters in height, which were built of loose stones and blocks without any dressing or mortar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post discusses the cultural heritage of Kenya, the culture which includes language, food, arts and craft and the heritage sites of Kenya.
