The Maasai Culture And Ecological Adaptations

Introduction Cracks in East Africa have been home for nomads for over 3,000 years. Various tribes including Nilotes such as Cutates in the southern part of Ethiopia, Maasai in southern Sudan, Bantu and others moved to Kenya and were classified by language. People of Maa are the group of the origins of Maasai and they southed to Great Rift Valley about 400 years ago. The second phase of the expansion of Marseilles included the emergence of the Central Marseille Union and the expansion and differentiation of the Central Rift Valley.

Masai is known for its amazing red robes and rich traditional culture. A young Maasai male between the ages of 15 and 30 is known as Moran, or "warrior". Moran lives isolatedly in an uninhabited wilderness area and is known as "shrub". During the Moran era, Masai young men learned about tribal customs and development, courage, and endurance. Several people are still nomadic, but many Masai people are beginning to integrate into the society of Kenya and Tanzania. The cultivation of modern pastures and wheat is becoming common. Marseille also supports more tribes to manage water resources. Because the Masai is one of the world's men's dominated society, women are pressing to tribe to have strong citizenship.

Today, quiet modernization has become a more direct threat. In recent years, the Government of Tanzania and the Kenyan government are demanding that the Masai tribe is no longer a nomadic person and to be integrated into modern civilization. However, the Maasai do not want to change their way of life (even if they face serious drought and other danger). They are willing to give up on what they know. When we arrived at the village, I left the car and departed, my little hand touched my wrist and my feet touched the ground. I overlooked the smiling boy. There are 15 other people gathered around our car like me. They seem to be waiting for us to arrive. Although their faces are bright and smiling, it is difficult not to notice how malnourished they are. The clothes they are wearing are covered with dirt and caves. An older girl who seems to be 9 or 10 is carrying a baby (they help elder women take care, learn later)

These are the East African semi-nomadic Masai tribe, believe that goat's blood improves sexual desire. I am on my honeymoon in northern Tanzania. When my wife Joe and I planned to come to Africa, we thought that spending the night in the village of Marseilles would be a lens of integration into different cultures. We just did not think that we feel so contradictory in the rest of our trip. The culture of Marseille is completely out of our own culture. Joe and I, like the third world, live in the northern part of Chicago. The Maasai has no tap water, medical care, vaccines, or the world's first comfort. As my mother-in-law said, "Do you call it a honeymoon?" Point, Mercy!
