HOW MAASAI WOMEN SPOKE TO COWS
HOW MAASAI WOMEN SPOKE TO COWS: From the Oral Stories of Maasai Elders
Written by Stephanie Zabriskie
How Maasai Women Spoke to Cows is a children’s book adapted from a traditional Maasai oral story. It preserves Indigenous storytelling traditions while supporting early literacy, cultural representation, and language learning through stories rooted in community knowledge.
The book is part of Humanculture’s broader commitment to culturally grounded education and storytelling as tools for learning, identity, and continuity. Oral stories such as this one have been shared across generations to teach values, observation, and relationship to land and animals.
This written adaptation was developed with care to honor the original meaning of the story while making it accessible to children and families today.
