Watched by his friends, a Samburu initiate shoots his arrows for the last time during the lmuget loolbaa ceremony (the ceremony of the arrows) a month after he was circumcised. He has already discarded his black leather cloak and now smears himself for the first time with a mixture of animal fat and red ochre.Before his circumcision, the initiate was a mere child with no say in tribal affairs. As a junior warrior, his status and standing in the tribe change overnight. Henceforth, he will be responsible for defending the life and property of his own people.
