Crazy Brave is a memoir by US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. It was published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2013. In this transcendent memoir, grounded in tribal myth and ancestry, music and poetry, Joy Harjo details her journey to becoming a poet. In her memoir, Joy Harjo recounts how her early years – a difficult childhood with an alcoholic father and abusive stepfather, and the hardships of teen motherhood – caused her to suppress her artistic gifts and nearly brought her to her breaking point. She writes “it was the spirit of poetry who reached out and found me as I stood there at the doorway between panic and love.” She once marked herself with a knife and the pain assured her of her own reality.

In the Loitokitok area farming began in the 1930s with the establishment of a District Office.

In the Loitokitok area it reflects natural increase as well as migration of large numbers from the congested central highlands of Kenya to farm the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro and other hills. As for wildlife managers, among their main aims Campbell (2000) states nature diversity conservation – improving disrupted wildlife movements, access to water in riparian zones, and altered livestock grazing patterns. Another aspect, connected also with wildlife tourism enterprises, might be improving tourism facilities.
