The Maasai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group in East Africa, primarily found in Kenya and Tanzania. Their traditions emphasize a strong connection to cattle, which are central to their culture and economy. Cattle are not only a source of food but also a symbol of wealth and status. The Maasai are known for their vibrant clothing, particularly the shúkà, a red-checked or solid fabric worn by both men and women. Rituals and ceremonies play a significant role in Maasai life, marking important life stages such as circumcision, marriage, and initiation. The community is organized into age sets, with each group undergoing specific rites of passage. Traditional music and dance are integral to celebrations, reflecting their rich oral history and cultural identity.
