Abstract
Provides a critical historical and ethnographic analysis of a 61-page typescript history of the Kiroba people of the eastern shore of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. This document was produced in the early 1980’s by 25 elders of the people who selected themselves as representatives of all the lineages in order to record and preserve their people’s history. The document was written without outside direction.
