Abstract
The ethnic classification selected for Kenya is that used by the Kenya census (1962), which states that the groupings were made on the basis of “ethnic, linguistic, and geographical considerations” and involves “somewhat arbitrary” groupings in certain cases. Thus, the Boni and Sanye, who are said to be among the oldest hunting tribes of Kenya, have been placed in their respective groups because of linguistic and geographical considerations. None of the ethnic units are themselves identity groups except for the Luo, a Nilotic people. The subgroups are all identity groups, although the Luhya are an emerging identity group whose sub-groups have a significant sense of self-identity. Excluded here are two northern clusters: Somali-speaking Eastern Hamitic groups (Gosha, Hawiyah, Ogaden, Ajuran, Gurreh), 3 percent; and Rendille and Galla-speaking Western Hamitic groups (Rendille, Boran, Gabbra, Sakakuya, Orma), 1 percent. A large non-indigenous population continues to exist in the country (in 1969—41,000 Europeans; 140,000 Asians; 28,000 Arabs).
