Heading over to the Datoga home, we were too late to see the goats and cattle heading out to graze, but the chief and his family were up for a visit. Their homes are small and fairly dark, and the ladies showed us how to grind maize, one of their staple foods. I had been given a three legged sitting stool last year and brought earrings for the ladies this year. Lissa Flemming of Silver Waves Jewelry helped to sponsor the gifts (thank you Lissa!). She made silver hoop earrings with a Lake Superior stone on each. I am shown here holding her logo and explaining that my home and the stones are both on the shores of Lake Superior.
My hosts were simply delighted and are seen in the photo with their jewelry and Lissa's as well. We were treated to a sweet song of thanks afterwards.
