About the rite
Maasai boys and men pass through several rites as they grow into new responsibilities. Enkipaata brings boys into an age group, Eunoto marks a transition for warriors, and Olng’esherr leads toward elderhood. Through these stages, peers learn and take on responsibilities together.
UNESCO’s 2013 safeguarding decision describes this system of rites. It gives no date for the most recent Eunoto ceremony.
