Cultural Preservation Theoretical Framework in Indigenous Dinka Villages of South Sudanese Origin in Kenya 2001

This study examines cultural preservation efforts by Indigenous Dinka communities in villages located in Kenya, drawing on their South Sudanese heritage. A qualitative approach was employed, involving interviews with community members, archival research, and observations in Dinka villages to capture a comprehensive understanding of cultural practices and challenges faced by the Indigenous Dinka population in Kenya. The theoretical framework underscores the importance of community support in preserving Indigenous Dinka culture in Kenya, highlighting the need for tailored strategies that account for local dynamics and external pressures. Policy makers should consider supporting community-led initiatives focused on education and intergenerational transmission to ensure cultural preservation efforts are sustainable and effective. Furthermore, fostering cross-cultural dialogue can help mitigate negative influences from outside forces.
