The Borana people of southern Ethiopia have a rich and complex oral literature. However, what is not so well known, beyond the Oromo-speaking Borana and the few outsiders who have studied it, is the literature itself. With the adoption of orthography for the language in recent decades, scholars like Kidane have turned their attention to the documentation and preservation of the orally transmitted literature, which is the vehicle for the history, and values of the people.
