Man and Nature～Maasai Tribe

Maasai Village is located in the Great Rift Valley in southern Kenya. It is a village with livestock as its main industry. The residents of this village are mainly Maasai people, who usually live in thatched houses and make a living on cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. The natural scenery of Maasai Village is beautiful, with vast grasslands, mountains, volcanoes, lakes and other natural landscapes. In addition, the Maasai people also have rich cultural traditions, such as traditional wedding ceremonies, singing, dancing and handicrafts. The Maasai race is one of the ancestors of mankind. They live in remote and difficult areas without foreign invasion and maintain a single bloodline. Therefore, they are also the slowest evolving human beings. They still maintain their primitive way of life, and drilling wood to make fire is a must-do every day. The Maasai village is built on a hillside, with a broad view and a refreshing feeling. The residents and customs are all real, but it is the same as a free attraction, which costs thirty US dollars. You can take photos with the Maasai people here. If you know this, you will not be embarrassed by being chased by the locals and deleting the photos while watching the hippos. They believe the soul is trapped inside the camera box. The Maasai people's access to education is only 30%, and conditions are difficult. Some have to walk more than ten miles to go to school. In primitive tribes, schools are a means of punishment for those who have made mistakes, like a prison. But later they gradually discovered that the people who came out of it were developing very well, and they gradually changed their ideas. Before the age of fifteen, men are free and have no residence. Adult circumcision is performed at the age of fifteen, and at the age of twenty-five, one has to restrain oneself according to adult norms and undergo a painful training stage. Only after twenty-five years can one have a wife and have children. There are also monogamous couples. Unrestricted polygamy still accounts for the majority of cases, as long as the financial resources are sufficient. The Maasai people who performed drilling wood to make fire married seven wives. The Maasai people only eat beef and drink milk and blood. Only the elderly, the weak, and pregnant women can drink cow blood. They have a unique skill, sucking the blood directly from the cow, and the cow will not die. Women in the tribe give birth to children, take care of children, build houses, and make handicrafts. The men wandered outside as the grassland changed, sometimes not coming back for months.
