Dear bro.Jackob, ifeel proud of you that you have decided to stand up and speak on behalf of your community.Iam in possesion of some ducuments from a European University Lbrary which was written over 150 ago by some Explorers who place the "WAATA COMMUNITY° as the first settlers along the coast ( Taita, Taru, Kwale, Kilfi Arabuko etc) It isnice to note that your commuity is the one who rescured/ helped the present " Mijikenda"in warding off the Wagalla who attacked us at our Kingdom "Singwaya" in the 14 century. We had to run away and found peace at the south coast & at Mwangea hill. It is at this hill when our forefathers met a Waata hunter who gave us shelter by showing them (" DZAGAMIZI"/ the present Kaya Fungo!!!) The waata gesture didnt stop there, they showed us how to use bows& arrows, they gave us ivory which we sold them to the shiraazi in Malindi and used the Money as bridewealth, thats how the mijikenda / giriamas ended up in marrying many wives.. My advice: Organise your selfs and approch the six County Governors and poen up a Dialoge mostly about Land & education alo if they can Appoint mcas from your communitty at every village of yours.Wish you luck. Greetings from Europe.
Hi Grantler, My name Adams and I am happy to see your comments. I interviewed Jackob in August 2015 in Malindi. I would like to get in touch with you about the research from the European University Library about the Waata. I am currently engaging some Waata people in Tana River. You can reach me at etaarifa@gmail.com Thanks
As Somalikenyan from wajir my parents used to say waaata are people who eat corpse even though we never see them. Boon and wataa are related with gaboye of somalia
The watta are ancient aweer community who use to reside in jubaland before they got displaced by Garre and owliyan in galmadow war
The lady's speaking Oromo language
They are Oromo
@atikawake1033 no they're not, some just speak the language
