This is the autobiography of TEPILIT OLE SAITOTI: From his birth into a traditional society in Tanzania in 1949, through his youth, education in a mission school, and initiation as a warrior, to his career as a game park guide and ranger (subject of a National Geographic film, "Man of the Serengeti"); to his studies in Munich and Boston and at the University of Michigan (where he received an M.S. in natural resources), to his return home, where he was welcomed back ritually into his family. Although Maasai life has been much described elsewhere, this personal view is particularly interesting. It is accessibly presented and is recommended for area collections or library where there is interest in culture contact or the black experience. Elizabeth A.
