“Warrior's Dance". Photograph of a group of warriors, likely of the Kikuyu people. The group are wearing tribal costume and are gathered together in a tight circle. One row of warriors faces into the centre of the circle and others can be seen inside the circle.; This belongs to a series of Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee lantern slides relating to the Kikuyu Mission in Kenya, which was set up by Church of Scotland missionaries. Hospitals were established by Scottish missionaries in Kikuyu in 1908, in Tumutumu in 1909, and in Chogoria in 1922. The missionaries also introduced the Presbyterian Church to the area. The Kikuyu are Kenya’s most populous ethnic group.

《战士之舞》。本照片拍摄了一群大概率属于基库尤（Kikuyu）族群的战士：他们身着部族传统服饰，紧密围成一个圆圈集结，其中一排战士面朝圆圈中心，另有数名战士身处圆圈内部。该照片隶属于苏格兰教会海外传教委员会（Church of Scotland Foreign Missions Committee）的系列幻灯底片，该系列底片围绕肯尼亚基库尤传教站展开，该传教站由苏格兰教会传教士设立。苏格兰传教士分别于1908年在基库尤、1909年在图穆图穆（Tumutumu）、1922年在乔戈里亚（Chogoria）建立医院；同时还将长老会（Presbyterian Church）引入该地区。基库尤族群是肯尼亚人口最多的民族。
