Trees are still living symbols of peace-making in this part of Africa. Oloip - When the Maasai are making peace they sit under a shade of a particular tree. But before they sit, each one of them has to drop all the weapons that he is carrying and then proceed under the tree to begin the negotiations. These are some of the different examples of a culture of peace that still exists today in resolving conflict. Very often ethnic groups that neighbour each other use similar symbols.
Peace is a holistic issue, a heritage within different groups in society.
