Grade 7 · Social Studies · People, Population and Relationships (Socio-economic Organisation)
Before colonial rule communities were organised by clans, age-sets and councils of elders. Economic activities: farming (Kikuyu, Luhya), pastoralism (Maasai, Turkana), fishing (Luo, Swahili) and trade (Swahili, Kamba long-distance traders). People shared work and helped each other through collective farming.
