Family life of Kikuyu
• The most important social unit of the Kikuyu traditionally was the family groups, and it still remains today.
• Traditionally the Kikuyu lived in separate domestic family homesteads which were surrounded by hedge or stockade and contained a hut for each of the man’s wives. ...
• When seclusion is over, the mother’s head is shaved, symbolizing new life; she is a new person ready for a new life and a new baby.
• The Kikuyu have a very distinct ritual in naming their children: The first boy is named after the father’s father, and the second boy after the mother’s father.
