Скачать или смотреть Christianity, Land, and the Beginning of Kenya’s Pain | Gîkûyû

Before the settlers came with land deeds…
before the colonial government came with guns…
Christian missionaries arrived first.

In this video, I explore how Christianity and mission stations laid the groundwork for colonial settlement in Kenya — from early missions like Rabai, to mission schools, land misunderstandings, and the slow erosion of African identity and authority.

This is not a story about faith alone.
It is a story about land, power, culture, and unintended consequences.

Using oral history and forgotten context, this episode connects:

Missionaries
Settlers
Land dispossession
And the resistance that would later erupt as Mau Mau

If your grandparents ever spoke about “Emergency,” mission schools, or the early church, this story will feel familiar.
