The Maasai are an ethnic group primarily found in Kenya and Tanzania. They are known for their distinctive red shuka, a traditional dress worn by men, and their distinctive red and white shuka, worn by women. The Maasai are semi-nomadic, living in the semi-arid grasslands of East Africa, and are known for their cattle herding skills. They have a rich cultural heritage, with a strong oral tradition and a complex social structure. The Maasai are also known for their unique language, which is part of the Nilotic language family. They have a matriarchal society, with women holding significant power and influence. The Maasai have faced challenges in recent decades, including conflict with neighboring communities and external forces, as well as the impact of climate change on their traditional way of life. Despite these challenges, the Maasai continue to maintain their cultural identity and traditions.
