He would be raised separately from his sisters, circumcised as a teenager, spend his warrior years protecting cattle with his brothers, marry multiple wives, and conceive dozens of children. But then, at age ten, a chance event exposed him to the outside world. Although Laizer continued to participate in traditional Maasai rites of passage including ceremonial circumcision and warriorhood, he began questioning the central tenets of his culture. Eventually, Laizer’s questions culminated in a showdown with his father, who cursed him with death. Undaunted, Laizer continued down a path of change and growth, taking him from Tanzania to Yosemite National Park and back again."--page 4 of cover. 600 14 $a Laizer, Olotumi $v Biography. 650 0 $a Maasai (African people) 651 0 $a Tanzania $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Yosemite National Park (Calif.) 650 6 $a MassaiÌ (Peuple d'Afrique) 651 6 $a Yosemite National Park (Calif.) 650 7 $a Maasai (African people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01731207 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a California $z Yosemite National Park. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01308988 651 7 $a Tanzania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210143 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA4B46E4214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
