The particular Masai you have in mind live in the Kenyan village of Enoosaen, near the border with Tanzania. A tribesman named Kimeli Naiyomah -- who was (and perhaps still is?) a Stanford pre-med student -- alerted his African brethren to the events of 9-11. Members of the tribe wanted to do something to help the Americans, so they generously donated 14 large & healthy cows. (Which must have been a king's ransom for that poor, semi-nomadic tribe...)

That's all I can find. As an aside, I, too, would like to send them some sort of thanks.

Please ping me on your findings as well. Like you, I was also touched by their generosity and heartfelt gift. I'd like to send along my thanks as well.

Please ping me, too. Like you I've never forgotten what they did. I remember crying at the time I first read about this. It makes me stop and think and wonder if I could be as generous toward someone as they were to us.

Send them a letter, the address should be on their web site. This is probably the best way to get a response as they will have a smaller staff and are more likely to respond to such a request than the state department (where your letter would undoubtably get lost).

You can address it to the Ambassador (or the DCM - Deputy Chief of Mission), include a short note to his secretary requesting that she deliver it to the appropriate person at the mission.

You could also try the USAID people.

They may even have a local contact that can deliver your letter to the chief of the tribe as they are probably hard to reach by conventional means.
