	Times of Crisis
		It becomes apparent from observing traditional Kipsigis burial rites that the meaning of life is found in maintaining harmony with the ancestors.
		Traditional Kipsigis consider the "living dead" as that part of the family who have passed from the realm of the living.

		The forts were repeatedly stormed by the Kipsigis, but it took several years of raids, ambushes and counter-ambushes before the Gusii were finally forced to migrate southwards beyond the area of present-day Sotik.
		So great was the loss of life that the Kipsigis elders ordered the 'premature' initiation of young boys into warriorhood, and encouraged young men to marry early so as to increase the population of the tribe.
		The situation was compounded by the Kipsigis attack and the battle of Saosao.

		Among the Kipsigis the kiptaiyat ab kokwet, the village leader chosen by consensus, calls the men of the village together to discuss who has sinned and what restitution must be made to restore harmony in the community.

		He may have calculated that such a declaration would shore up his fortunes and up his standing within the Kipsigis, who generally grumble that they are not well represented in the higher echelons of the government and the party (like in the National Executive Committee) the way less populous Kalenjin tribes like the Keiyo are.
		But it is virtually certain that, going by the hostility Mr Kones is right now being subjected to by the Kalenjin establishment, his intended candidacy is something that they have not given their blessings to, or are likely to.
		Indeed, what is happening in the Kipsigis heartland is all of a pattern of the cyclical upheavals that convulse Kalenjin politics, and where the deliberate hand of the powers that be is often too evident.

	Kipsigis Age-Set Transitions
		In the nineteenth century the Kipsigis were settled pastoralists and hoe agriculturalists living in neighborhoods of 20 to 40 small homesteads concentrated in the hills at elevations between the high forest, occupied by small groups of Okiek ("Dorobo"), and lower grasslands, where the Kipsigis maintained cattle camps.
		From the consideration of Kipsigis age-sets, however, it would appear that in many cases uncentralized processes, lacking points of vulnerability and possessing informational resilience, can be highly adaptive, and that their continued study promises insights of general analytical relevance.
		2 The seven set cycle of the Kipsigis and Nandi is shared by the Okiek ('Dorobo') of North Tinderet Forest (Huntingford 1951:30), the Terik (Sangree 1966:69,75), the Sebei on the Ugandan side of Mount Elgon (Goldschmidt 1976:104) and, presumably, by the closely related Sabiny or Sabaot on the Kenyan side.

		This is of course, in reference to the expansion of the Maasai southwards along the Rift Valley, which dates from the 1600 AD.
		The Maasai drove the Kalenjin from the eastern grazing lands in the Nakuru and Tugen areas towards the present Elgeyo, Elgon, Nandi and Kipsigis.
		With the resulting loss of much of their grazing lands, the Kalenjin were forced to reduce their herds and to rely more on agriculture.
