Traditionally, transitioning from child to warrior as a Maasai involved taking part in a one-year warrior camp. Maasai youths would be secluded and learn survival skills, bushcraft — and, if the opportunity arose, how to kill a lion.All that has changed. Although “Enkipaata” — the official rite of passage that includes warrior training — has been declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, it has been modernized.

The boys now wield long sticks, not blades. No lions are killed. And warrior camp has been condensed down to one month, timed to coincide with school holidays.Joyce Naingisa’s son is taking part in this Enkipaata, and although she is just 34 years old, this ritual has already changed considerably in her lifetime.“My husband dropped out of school for a whole year so that he could attend,” she says. “But now, they are the leaders, and they know the importance of education. So these boys will undergo this rite of passage, but we still make sure that they go to school.”

Naingisa is a county minister in Narok North County and took a month off work to be here. One of her traditional responsibilities as a Maasai wife and mother is to help build the homes that make up this temporary settlement.“We just came to a plain field here, and now you can see a full house. That is the role of women: to build the shelter,” she explains.

I think we just were able to put it all together, and we’ve got to do it again.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards was determined to keep Minnesota’s spirits up, from the flight home after a frustrating trip to Oklahoma City into a crucial game in these Western Conference finals.Positive energy is never hard for him to find.

Edwards had 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists in just three quarters for the Timberwolves in a 143-101 victory on Saturday night in Game 3 that cut the Thunder’s lead in the series to 2-1.“Just ultimate pressure on the ball,” Edwards said, “and shoot it as much as I can.”
