Who is Minik ene Nkotoi? What are the feelings of the people of Nasila about her?

Minik is a character with an almost mythic quality. She is one of the few Maa women who have not been circumcised and is therefore an outcast. Yet, she attended Makerere University and started a farm that takes in runaway girls fleeing arranged marriages and circumcision. She plays a crucial role when she takes in Resian and Taiyo at the end of the narrative and protects them from the mob.
