Me ka haʻaheo me ka paʻa ʻana i nā ihe a me nā lāʻau i ko lākou mau lima me nā lāʻau a me ka pahi kaua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ke kāʻei ʻili ma ko lākou pūhaka, haʻaheo a hauʻoli ka poʻe kahu hānai Maasai i ka noho ʻana i loko o ka Ngorongoro Conservation Area kahi e kaʻana like ai lākou i ka ʻāina me nā holoholona hihiu.
ʻIke maikaʻi ʻia ʻo Ngorongoro Conservation Area ʻo "Africa's Garden of Eden" a ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi holoholona hihiu maikaʻi loa ma Tanzania, e ʻimi ana ma luna o 640,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO ia wale nō kahi ma Tanzania a me ʻApelika Hikina kahi e noho maluhia ai nā kānaka me ko lākou mau ʻenemi maoli - nā holoholona hihiu, me nā mea pepehi kanaka nui loa o nā holoholona ʻApelika āpau, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā elepani, nā liona, nā bufalo, a me nā holoholona ʻino ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻaʻahu ʻia i nā ʻaʻahu kuʻuna, ʻike mau ʻia nā kahu bipi Maasai e hele haʻaheo ana me ko lākou mau poʻo pipi i loko o ka ʻĀina Hoʻomalu ʻo Ngorongoro, e kaʻana like ana me nā holoholona hihiu me ka maluhia.
Ma waho aʻe o nā holoholona hihiu, ʻo Ngorongoro Conservation Area kahi kahua archaeological kahi i ʻike ai ka mea kālaihonua Pelekane kaulana, ʻo Dr. Louis Leakey a me kāna wahine ʻo Mary i ka iwi poʻo i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke kanaka mua loa ma Olduvai Gorge i loko o ka wahi mālama.
ʻO nā huakaʻi a i ʻole nā huakaʻi lōʻihi he mea kupanaha ke kipa ʻana i nā home home Maasai kūikawā i kūkulu ʻia no nā hana hoʻokipa moʻomeheu i loko o ka wahi mālama holoholona hihiu. ʻOiai ke kaʻa ʻana ma o Ngorongoro, ʻike paha ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā kaikamahine a me nā keikikāne Maasai, i ʻaʻahu maikaʻi ʻia i nā lole ʻulaʻula, uliuli, a poni i mākaukau maikaʻi e hoʻokipa i nā mākaʻikaʻi e kipa ana i ka wahi mālama.
Hoʻokipa ʻia ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi haole a me ka ʻāina e aʻo a hauʻoli i nā hula kuʻuna Maasai, nā kuʻuna, a me nā moʻolelo moʻomeheu ma nā hale moʻomeheu i kūkulu ʻia i loko o ka wahi mālama ʻo Ngorongoro. Manaʻo ka poʻe kahu hānai Maasai i kā lākou moʻomeheu a hoʻokipa i nā malihini, hauʻoli e kamaʻilio liʻiliʻi me nā malihini kipa e kipa aku i ko lākou mau kaiāulu i kaʻana like ʻia e nā holoholona hihiu a me nā holoholona.
Ua hoʻoneʻe manawaleʻa kekahi o ka poʻe kahu hānai i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o Tanzania, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kauhale ʻo Msomera, ma kahi hoʻolālā e kōkua ai i ke kaulike ʻana i ka nui o ka poʻe e noho ana i loko o ka ʻāina mālama ʻo Ngorongoro.
I loko o ka lua o Ngorongoro, ʻike ʻia nā rhino ʻeleʻele e ʻai ana ma ka papahele lua me nā gazelles, impalas, a me nā bufalo. Loaʻa nā kahu Maasai e ʻai ana i kā lākou mau bipi, nā kao, a me nā hipa ma kahi kokoke i Lake Magadi i loko o ka lua pele no ka wai paʻakai.
E like me nā palapala hemolele o ka māla o ʻEdena, ʻo Ngorongoro kahi kahua kūpono ma ʻApelika kahi i noho ai nā kānaka a me nā holoholona hihiu e like me kēia me ka maluhia a me ka lokahi no nā makahiki he nui. ʻO kēia noho maluhia ʻana ma waena o nā holoholona hihiu a me nā kānaka e hoʻolilo iā Ngorongoro Conservation Area i waena o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi alakaʻi ma ʻApelika e pono ke kipa aku i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki.
