	The Sukuma People (Wasukumaa) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The latitude given to Sukuma native authorities by the Germans did not arise from any fondness for African tradition or hope for the stable long -term elocution of African local government institutions; it was due rather so shortage of staff and other exigencies of the earliest 'bush-bashing ' phase of colonial rule.
		Usually by the critical European eye as a hard worker (in other repeats he was disparaged as `dull' and `unimaginative'), the Sukuma found that the daily and seasonal requirements of his mixed agricultural and pastoral economy left little leisure for the luxuries of European education and religion.
		By 1949 he was ready to move on to a study of traditional Sukuma political organization preparatory to its reformation along democratic lines 'from the parish council upwards'.

	Context
		The Sukuma Museum has decided that the alternative to the museum dilemma of decontextualization is to display cultural objects in an educational setting providing all relevant cultural, aesthetic, and historical information while at the same time recognizing the inherent existence of the curatorial voice.
		[26] Yet, like many Sukuma medicines, some must be used or cleansed to revitalize their strength and so it is not the display that extinguishes the power but the lack of respect or practice by someone who is initiated in the knowledge of the medicine.
		As the founders of the Museum were the first to institutionalize Sukuma history and culture, the history they chose to present through the museum display should be seen in the light of their agenda and as a construction of Sukuma history.
