they drink their blood, mmixed with their milk.
Cattle.
Not only are they a source of food in meat and milk, but they are also a sign of wealth in the community. The more cattle and wives a Masai man has, the wealthier he is.
The Maasai do not accumulate money; they hold their cattle in such high regard that the cattle themselves are seen as a measure of a man's wealth. Any man who has at least 50 cattle would be seen as being wealthy.
Look after cattle and look after children.
The cattle
The Maasai people traditionally keep cattle, goats, and sheep. These animals are central to their way of life as a source of food, milk, and income. Additionally, some Maasai also keep donkeys for transportation and chickens for eggs.
The Maasai have quite a lot of uses from their cattle. 1)They can use their cattle's blood(mixed with milk) for drinking purposes. 2)They can use their meat for food. 3)They can get milk from their cattle for drinking purposes. 4)And the can also use cow dung to plaster houses.
Maasai women collect water, wood for fire, collects the crops, look after the cattle (milking and feeding them) and often build their house made of cow dung.
The Maasai people primarily live in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania, in the East African region. They are known for their traditional way of life, which revolves around raising cattle.
The maasai people don't eat meat except on a special occasion. To get their protein, they drink the cattle blood. They also drink cattle milk, and they eat ugali (a hard, traditional porridge) and maize (corn). Sorry, I don't know much else!
The Maasai people are primarily located in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are known for their pastoral way of life, cattle herding, and distinctive cultural traditions.
The beginning of "The Beginnings of the Maasai" traces the origins of the Maasai people to their migration from North Africa to their current territories in Kenya and Tanzania. It highlights their pastoral lifestyle, social organization, and cultural practices, emphasizing their deep connection to the land and their cattle. The text also discusses the impact of neighboring tribes and European colonial influences on the Maasai way of life.
