The Mau Ogiek, an ethnic minority, hunter and gatherer group, wear their indigenous dress to-date. African culture has faced physical and psychological destruction and demonization by non-Africans.

This paper discusses how the Mau Ogiek apply their non-material culture on their ethnic dress. The research design was hermeneutic discursive interview. The study area was the Mau Forest Complex, Nessuit location with a population of 2600 adult Mau Ogiek people. Judgement sampling was employed to select the sample of 84 consultants. Data were collected by key-consultant in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), augmented by photography and observation. Thematic analysis was employed in the interviews and FGDs.
