“the beginnings of the maasai”? as a result of the fig tree being destroyed, the maasai’s relationship with enkai has been permanently damaged. although the kamba chopped down the fig tree, the maasai tribe are still connected with enkai through their cattle. after the fig tree died, enkai moved to the top of mount kenya, leaving the maasai and their cattle on the plains. since the fig tree was killed by the kamba, enkai uses his godly powers when the cattle or children cause problems.
