AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this paper the author describes the use of their forest and it resources and relationships to neighboring groups–relationships of mutual interdependence. The complexity of these relationships are discussed in terms of certain needs which the groups fulfill for each other and the fact that the Okiek, being a small and scattered people, live in close proximity to much larger and more powerful groups with whom they wish to maintain amicable relations.
