The Orkoiyot tradition — does it continue today?
Question
JJepkoech Samoei1mo ago
Koitalel was the last powerful Orkoiyot of the Nandi. The Orkoiyot was both a military leader and a spiritual prophet. Does this institution continue in any form among the modern Nandi/Kalenjin? Are there families that still claim the Orkoiyot lineage? I'd love to learn more about how this tradition has evolved or whether it has been entirely replaced by modern governance structures.
