Abstract: | Bukwaya extend from Mara Bay to Nariobo River along the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. The inhabitants are primarily agriculturalists with fishing, animal husbandry and, formerly, hunting as secondary occupation. This paper provides a general survey of the agricultural activities throughout the year with specific reference to the old Kwaya calendar and to the magico-religious measures of safeguard customarily taken in pre-Christian times.
