The Okiek, sometimes called the Ogiek or Akiek (although the term Akiek sometimes refers to a
distinct subgroup), are an ethnic and linguistic group based in northern
Tanzania and southern
Kenya. In 2000 the ethnic Okiek population was estimated to number 36,869, although the number of those speaking the
Akiek language was as low as 500
[1]. Many Ogiek speakers have shifted to the languages of surrounding peoples: the Akiek in northern Tanzania now speak
Maasai and the Akiek of Kinare, Kenya now speak
Gikuyu. The Ogiek are one of various groups of hunter-gatherers in Kenya and Tanzania to which the term
Dorobo or Ndorobo (a term of Maasai origin now considered derogatory) has been applied.
