ABSTRACT
Mukogodo of Koisa's generation and before were born in rockshelters, grew up speaking Yaaku, and ate honey and wild game. Younger people were born in small houses, grew up speaking Maa, and drink milk and eat meat from goats, sheep, and cattle. Different fieldworkers have different goals and different styles, and they immerse themselves in the society and culture to different degrees. Conducting the census and keeping records of the whereabouts of everyone in Mukogodo Location during 1986 also gave people a body of detailed information possessed by no one else, not even any Mukogodo. Like many Mukogodo men of his generation, he had no wife or other family, and he set up housekeeping with another old man just down the hill from house at Kuri-Kuri. Methods of data collection are as diverse as the discipline of anthropology itself, but the two basic techniques are straightforward: interviews and behavioral observations.
