	Mike Resnick: Kirinyaga
		Resnick takes his Kikuyu and places them on an artificial habitat, Kirinyaga, named after the Kenyan mountain which is holy to them as the home of their chief god.
		Although Kirinyaga has a maintained habitat, when the cycle opened in "Kirinyaga", only Kikuyu were permitted on Kirinyaga and only their holy man, or mundumugu, Koriba, could contact the technicians who saw that Kirinyaga ran smoothly.
		Kirinyaga (and similar habitats) seem to have been terraformed asteroids, although at other times they almost seemed like the interior of a large space station.

		Kirinyaga was born of an idea given to Resnick by Orson Scott Card: conceive of a story in which earth people migrate to a terraformed world and set up a utopia.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Kirinyaga by Mike Resnick
		When Mike Resnick was asked to contribute to an anthology about terraformed asteroids chartered to create Utopian* colonies, he chose to reconstruct Kirinyaga, the original home of the Kikuyu people, as it was before the Europeans changed it into Kenya.
		The anthology was never published, so one story led to many, each depicting the ethical struggles of Koriba, the mundumugu (witch doctor),and his battle to preserve the new Kirinyaga against interference by Maintenance, the space station that monitors the climate and orbit of Kirinyaga.
		Kirinyaga will give you a taste of what's to come as more of Koriba, Kirinyaga, and the society of his new world and its struggles emerge.

		The sons and daughters of Gikuyu remained on Kirinyaga until the white man came and took their lands away, and even when the white man had been banished they did not return, but chose to remain in the cities, wearing Western clothes and using Western machines and living Western lives.

		Ndemi, the boy who had insisted upon a story about Kirinyaga the night before, sought me out privately to complain that he had been unable to slay a small gazelle with his spear, and asked for a charm to make its flight more accurate.
