People of the Masai

The elegant people of Masai live in East Africa on the plains of Kenya and Tanzania. The Masai are sleek and beautiful people who thrive upon protecting “their” cattle. The Masai are sensitive to their own traditions and rituals passed on over 300 years ago. The Masai’s strong presence on culture and traditions, protecting herds, and maintaining their identity with increasing pressures from colonial government rule are obstacles they have faced and will overcome today …

…The Masai have remained the tribe to stay together the longest in East Africa. The Masai’s strong traditions, their respect to herds, and maintaining their identity have been the key to staying true to themselves and setting aside pressures to become urbanized. The people of the Masai are beautiful inside and out and their views and culture can be observed and help assist people and communities in the western world today with modern issues.
