The Maasai are an indigenous ethnic group in Africa of semi-nomadic people settled in Kenya and northern Tanzania. Due to their distinct traditions, customs and dress and their residence near the many national game parks of East Africa, the Maasai are among the foremost African ethnic groups and are known internationally because of their links to the national parks and reserves.
Maasai society is firmly patriarchal in nature, with elder Maasai men sometimes joined by retired elders, determining most major matters for the Maasai tribes. The Maasai people are monotheistic, and their God is named Engai or Enkai.
For Maasai people living a traditional way of life, the end of life is virtually without a formal funeral ceremony, and the dead are left out in the fields for scavengers. Burial has in the past been reserved for great chiefs only, since it is believed by the Maasai that burial is harmful to the soil.
Traditional Maasai people's lifestyle concentrates on their cattle which make up the primary source of food. Amongst the Maasai and several other African ethnic groups, the measure of a man's wealth is in terms of children and cattle. So the more the better.
A man who has plenty cattle but not many children is considered to be poor and vice versa. A Maasai myth says that God afforded them all the cattle on earth, resulting in the belief that rustling from other tribes is a matter of claiming what is rightfully theirs, a practice that has now become much less common.

Hi, I am a Masai... Good work, however I noticed at 3:43 you mention that the Most high God in maasai is Oloibon, that's not correct. The God in Maasai is known as Enkai.
Kindly check

Hi, what a great look into the Massai. My high schooler is doing a video project and he has chosen to focus on the Maasai. I was wondering if you had any footage that he might be able to use for his video? The primary focus of the video is how the government is reducing the tribal lands which is affecting the culture.

I went to Kenya recently and visited a fake Maasai village. It was disappointing knowing what I know about the tribe.
