The story of Kibboka, a traditional leader betrayed by his own community, illustrates how cultural heritage and ancestral wisdom can restore community resilience. When Kibboka was betrayed and left his community, he took his family and animals to the Tana River, leaving behind sacred items that became sites for appeasement rituals. The community's subsequent appeasement ceremonies at these sites, conducted on significant dates like the equinox, were believed to restore harmony and bring prosperity, including rain and food. This narrative demonstrates how traditional knowledge systems and cultural practices serve as mechanisms for community healing and restoration after periods of conflict or leadership challenges.

Uh there were songs for different occasions and different events like for instance you find that when you are even milking the animal >> there are songs when a baby is born >> there were song when when you are gracing there are songs when when young girls were initiated there were song to mentor to encourage them to give them courage you see to educate them to teach. There were songs maybe when you are chasing bands, maybe to give you energy >> to chase band and maybe some songs maybe to to maybe when when you want to sing to someone you you love.
>> Maybe there were songs to which were sung.
>> There were very many many songs. There were songs which were not even sung at home like witchcraft songs.
>> You see when people were were doing the that medicine where they were doing the herbs were digging the songs we call them yoga.
>> There were some songs like which were sung when uh people were hunting.
>> Some of the songs were not supposed to be sung at home. Mhm.
>> They are very sacred >> and they not supposed to be sung at home.
>> So there are very many songs in the raa >> and every song as a as a teaching they have teaching they have a meaning and they are supposed to be sung differently like when you go to probably when you go to for example these cultural festivals where people are singing you find people are singing different songs socks.
>> Mhm. People are seeing different >> happening here. I can see there are some h >> people were living here. People were living here. Here maybe this this is something like they used home.

Actually people used to live on top of the mountains or hills. Here is very safe. No animals here. Nothing can distract you. Nothing can disturb here.
Yeah. No here. No animals here. Maybe the year.
Yeah. Someone was someone was living there.
The the Goomba people, the native people, the Goomba people who used to live here.
>> Yeah. And you can see here there are no bands.
>> Mhm.
>> There are no bands here. But I had I had some sound for a certain band.

>> Yeah, they see there.
>> They feed on maybe the rat. And you see snakes are very friendly. They not even invite people.
>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Snake don't bite people.
>> Bite people.
>> Snake don't bite people. You see when you when you find it maybe hunting maybe the snake is in the process of hunting the rat.
>> So maybe when you walk >> when you walk around and maybe you you encounter maybe it was like waiting for the the rat or some other other predators.
>> Yeah. Now the snake might happen to bite you.
>> Oh >> yeah. Snake don't eat people. No they eat they eat rats. They are friendly.
>> They are very friendly. Actually in the community sometimes you can even sleep with the the snake >> in the house.
>> Yeah. It can because of that warmth of the bond the snake can come there you sleep with it overnight >> you can >> annoyingly >> you see >> you see you see when the snake come in your bed you just sleep there you sleep it just enjoy the warmth >> because you see when you sleep at night the body is the the body I'm warm >> so you encouraging people not to kill snake >> we don't kill snake actually as a as an injury practitioner I have injury injury princm I'm a actually I'm a I'm barefoot lawyer.
>> So we protect these things. I'm a bareoot lawyer. I'm a practitioner and these animals we protect them.
>> Yes, >> they have right to leave.
>> Oh, >> they also have the right to leave.
>> And especially like now we've invented their places. So we don't see any animal and start distracting >> because now we have wal for more than 5 hours walking. Have you encountered any?
>> No, >> no, you don't kill but they here.
>> So when they see you, they just give you way. You just go. But now when you start distracting or disturbing them, >> you just fight.
>> Same as when somebody maybe start attacking you, >> you react.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So that around that the narative animals are dangerous.
>> The the animals are not dangerous.
Animals are very friendlies.
>> Animals are very friendly. Our people used to live here in the forest. They used to live with the animals. Yeah.
Very friendly. My grandfather, my uncle was a hunter. They used to live with animals. They could choose or select one animal to hit. They could select one animal which is one to hit. If it's a buffalo, just pick one. Not killing all of them. No.
>> For a whole week or >> Yeah. One week or two, they feed.
>> Yeah. So when you just go and distract them, they will attack you. The same way when maybe someone annoys you, you get annoyed. Yeah. And that is it.
>> That's good. I understand. We heading to a river or >> Yeah, we're going now to the river >> and the river is not very close. We have like 2 hours walk to the to back where we came from.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. We have 2 hours walk.
>> Yeah. 2 hours walk.
>> Yeah. From here we have 2 hours walk.
[laughter] >> At least the route that you have taken is not so much.
>> Yeah. The route that you have taken is somehow friendly.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because of course because we understand some people are not very strong because of the food you people are taking. You see we we living ancestor we have been feeding on indigenous food and taking a lot of a lot of hs. Yes.
You see people now the government say that people should plant trees. No, people should not plant trees, but people should respect the forest and the trees will just regenerate.
You see the problem is that people are cutting trees, planting trees. Do you think I want this tree?
>> When you cut a tree and plant another one, it will take before plant the tree become this size. So people should not cut trees. What you need is people to respect the land.
>> Yes, these are indigenous trees and it is very hard even to plant them. You see, it's very hard. So people should respect the trees.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah. You leave the land to regenerate.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Actually uh when we at the peak there you mentioned about the issue of Koboka and the way he was betrayed. So maybe from the start because we have a long journey you can keep us updated on that story.
>> Kibboka was betrayed by the Raqa community. Actually the community when who is Koka? Where did he come from?
came from, let me say I was from and the mother was not bearing children.
>> So he went to somebody who could could adise or could tell whether the this lady will get a child. So the this man was advised by this seer you know the seer or the hearer the seer told him that one day one time you find that you hear a son a boy crying outside your home >> so go out pick understand it was very rainy >> yeah it was told that one day one day you hear a son crying and it will be raining seriously with a lot of thunder and lightning >> so as they uh as they were sleeping.
Actually, traditionally people never used to sleep in the same house like you sleep nowadays. People never used to sleep in the same house.
>> Yeah. The man could sleep in a different house and the mother could sleep in a different house.
>> So when the this man was sleeping, he had a a young baby crying >> outside.
>> So outside. So he thought that Sorry.
Go. So he thought that we need to he need to go out and pick the the child.
So when he went out he picked the the baby and he took the baby to the to the wife was not bearing the child bus. She was very old and they were advised that they need to have to be having some water in the house of course to clean the the baby where the baby are born. You need to clean them. So they picked Kiboka and went in. Kiboka and some haps >> was owning some hs.
>> Kibboka was owning some hs. Kibboka was owning some hs and kibbokan give those hs to this man >> thisund. He told him that this kindly keep for me these apps. I'll pick them when grow.
>> So kboka started crying. Actually he he was named kibboka because of crying. in the community when you say Koboka is crying.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's the Koboka now like the like the so he was crying and he was named Kiboka.
>> So Kokan grew in a in a funny way and when when this picked picked Kiboka he he gave him the he wanted to Kboka to s took to to >> to sank. So you are trying to imagine that maybe someone has never even given birth. You how the grants are very small and you see and all that and she was also in >> she gave him the grand and she kokas and the milk came out. It was something funny >> and the milk came.
>> There was milk.
>> Yeah, milk came. So this lady was advised that after after see this this young this young boy he was told that in a few days she will start receiving the what do you call the me the ladies the monthly period of course. So the message she received them after 4 days they were told out to to do the you see the obvious.
>> No no it was he was told after the the messes you just go now do the act with your your husband. husband.
>> Now after that you receive a baby. Yes.
Yes, please.
>> Sandwood.
So grew and now this lady conceived.
>> This lady conceived and actually that time she also be another another another child called >> then they grew together. Koboka and grew together. They grew together but Koka was like it grew in a funny way >> because when because you see in the community people used to undergo different right of passages.
>> So it was now the time of >> Mhm. So when was disappeared >> from nowhere disappeared the father the mother know where went but after 4 days now came back but and the knowledge of you see when you are you go there you learn there are some things you know you are taught there are those and all that came now having that knowledge >> and they were worrying that hey where did get this knowledge grew up and he was also circumcised get married. He had a family. Now the community used to fight with other people from different communities.
>> Okay.
>> So the the power >> the power to fight >> of other people.
>> Okay.
>> So yeah that knowledge because you see when he was born he came up with a he came up with a with a that knowledge that wisdom and knowledge.
>> Yeah. To protect to protect the community. Mhm.
>> So you remember I said something about the hs which which he was owning with the hand.
>> So in fact after he grew up he picked the half the hs from the the the father >> the father you remember he told him own for me this one I'll pick them when grow.
>> So I think this a lot of power to protect the community.
>> So one day one time he told he told the community now to give their son so that can give them the strength the power >> to fight. But people did not agree. So took his only son.
>> He just cut him somewhere here and put something like a horn the power the power to fight >> to fight and and maybe overcome the the enemies. So with the time one of the ladies now because people had some problems here and there from that that what so they went up he went away to look for food.
>> So when they went there they said he went there and now these people demanded to know the secret from Kaboka. So they said we want to know the secret about this man who is killing people and when he killed you was killed when he killed and the son is killed very fast.
>> Actually that time they were using spares arrow >> spares arrow and these were these were the things which were being done by the goomba people. Mhm.
>> So, so this now was soon to tell us the secret >> and now the reindeer because of the problems and the hunger, >> she just told them the secret. When you kill this guy, just remove the horn from the chest.
>> Oh, but now he told them, she told them that before I tell you the story and the secret, >> you have to give me to carry the the the food.
>> Actually, she was given a lot of P peeon piece. Mhm.
>> And they were carried up to a certain place. It's called somewhere here.
They carried a lot of uh the pigeon peace and some food stuff >> to that point. And now told them the story and the secret and then they came.
Now the people from that say now let's wait for the people to come. When they went there, the the son they found he was killed and they just opened the chest and remove the horn. Actually when we go to secondary school you find a very big ant hill.
>> That is where they drove that horn.
>> That horn which was in in the ch of this kabokasan.
>> We are talking of real stories not real.
>> We we are not we are not we are not talking of stories or myth. This is the real story. When you go to when you go to secondary school up to go there you find that auntie is there already there.
So, so Koboka was anointed >> but for he said that let me forget let me let me forgive these guys from the now he thought that what he need to do you just bring a very big river >> where now when these enemies are coming they won't be able to cross >> as a big river like the ketana river you see now this big river where the enemies will be coming they won't just they can't pass here people will be able to see and encounter them >> so it's told committed that I'm I'm going to to bring a very big elephant >> somewhere we call primary school >> and is just within secondary school there when we go there you you find it there >> so so what happened he said that I'm going to drop a very big elephant there no one should touch >> you see now these people from and the same they went they went and touch yeah they went and touched they went and touched again the same now was annoyed >> and he was like I want to leave this land >> and go he told that people use another people of trying to save you and you wouldn't get someone to save you again I want to go somewhere where you won't find me >> that was like a c >> he left a very big cast actually and we assault we were we went to Kboka to do that but that's a story for another day >> so now what happened Kboka left Before you continue maybe how did that cast affect the community?
>> That that affected the community a lot because in the community we have been here for years and years. We haven't been having very good leaders or any >> yeah people people from themselves actually. So these cars, these cars hibboka left and he left and he left with his animals and the family. He walked from from where if you know if you know Kiboka primary school primary school is on the way to Mitungu and there's this there hotel there another steps >> footsteps of the belonging the family the animal. Yeah.
>> So to animal and >> he carried everything the the animals and everything >> where too >> to Kiboka now Kiboka natural site in river he said go and live in the water because water >> because people in the land now they're not friendly.
>> Kibboka went with the animals and the family then because of course he had a big family then grandchildren their cows and goats and the rest >> he went. Well, now the people realize that the kibboka has gone. M they followed him through when he when he reach he was carrying of course the port >> the port which he used to cook which the wife used to cook with >> and when he he arrived at Kongi he told the community you people go back I've left the port here when you people come you'll be throwing drying grass here when you pass here for the blessings and actually the people when they go to Konguni they go and drop the drying grass in that spot.
>> So, so Kibboka went >> h to the to the river >> Tana river and went and [clears throat] go inside the the water and he told the people were not very good. They followed him up to that river. Mhm.
>> He told them that you guys go back, but you'll be coming here to get the the spear, the jambers, the fork, >> the because anything the spear and all that.
>> So these people were not also very good and they also wound. Someone from Burakan was curious to see when and when is Kiboka bringing these things >> because they couldn't go outside there and pick the pangas, the jbe, the arrows. Mhm.
>> So one guy from uh from Burakan decided to go and hide and see when is Koboka coming or what is happening or who bring these the these tools.
>> So Koka came out one day Burakan guy was there. He told him guy go away and tell the people never again come to pick this again. And it says from that day.
>> Yeah. Because >> And it says from that day never give these guys the tools from that day.
