Other than the kudu horn, no other instruments are used. There music all comes from the voice. Maasai people will sing and dance the most when it rains. The two main ceremonies that involve singing and dancing is circumcision and marriage.

Maasai Diet

     The Maasai people do not have a lot of food to choose from. For the traditional Maasai, cattle was there primary source of food. They would eat the cattle's raw meat, raw blood, and raw milk. The less traditional would eat goats and sheep also. Some people would eat fruits and vegetables and many of the villages would not eat fruits or vegetables at all. It is surprising how these used to only live off of cattle.
    Now the Maasai people have a little more of a variety of food. For example, they heard other animals like sheep and grow food like maize. I made a maize porridge called ugali and it tasted very plain. The Maasai people mix the maize with whatever they have. Sometimes they will use honey , milk, and even the cattle blood to mix it with. Because of their diet, they do not get all of the nutrients that they need. Surprisingly, a lot of the Maasai are still healthy with their diet.

The white food on the bottom right of the plate is ugali. The food around it are other things they could mix with it.

This is a picture of the cattle that they would herd.

Interview

    I could not find anyone to interview in this culture, however, I did find articles with quotes that women had said. I will talk about the life of a Maasai women and what they must go through.
    In order for a women to get married, she must get a circumcision. During this ceremony, it would be done by an untrained Maasai member with sharp tools, such as knifes. This procedure is so dangerous for women and leads to many health problems since it is unprofessional. It also had psychological effects on the women who were circumcised.
    There was an end to this ceremony, and it is now illegal but still done around the world. Many of the Maasai people did not accept this. The women who were not circumcised were not accepted in the community and were thought to be unsuitable for marriage. Even though it is against the law, it is still happening, and women are dying from it.
    One women who was circumcised said, "I felt tricked. I was told I was going to be a complete women and then I found out they actually made me incomplete. I am now missing something important- my womanhood." It is not fair that some women still have to go through this. Another women said. " I was told by my family that I could not be a complete woman until my male part was cut off." With these ideas being put into young women's head, it could cause them to be seriously ill, or they could even die.

Maasai Cultural Survival

    The Maasai people survive by raising and herding cattle. That is their tradition and it is very important to them. Now, they heard other animals like cows and sheep which is less traditional. They grow vegetation like corn also. The traditional culture is to survive only with cattle. The cause of that is the loss of land needed for water and grazing.
     The Maasai people live simple lives and do not need much to survive. In order to save this culture, people need to stop taking away their land. There lives are so simple there is no need to make it harder for them. There are areas for national parks to save the wild life, but not the people.
     There is a lot of tourism in this area, but it does not help the Maasai. The parks take away drinking water, they have no health care, and there is little education. The Maasai people are going to keep having difficulty sustaining their way of life, like I said in the previous blogs.

Maasai Migrations and Diaspora

    The Maasai people originated in Northwest Kenya where the lower Nile valley north of Lake Turkana can be found. During the fifteenth century, they started to migrate south from Northern Kenya to central Tanzania. Other ethic groups that were already settled were forced to move.
    By the nineteenth century, the Maasai people covered almost all of the Great Rift Valley. Then their population shrank when they became exposed to diseases like smallpox. There land was taken away, and now they are in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania.
     The Maasai people have maintained a lot of their culture. It is hard for these people to get out because they are already living in poverty. Some of them do not want to get out just because they want to keep their traditions. The chances are slim for the ones who do want to get out. I have not found any articles of someone leaving their homeland.
    There are funds to help put children in school but not a lot of them. Around seventy-five percent of the Maasai people are illiterate. School is very expensive for them. For the people who do get a chance to go to school, most of them will not make it to secondary school. A lot of them have dropped out also.

Maasai and their Neighbors

    The traditional Maasai people would keep to themselves, with no interaction with other ethnic groups. They had no need to interact with other people, because all they needed was shelter and their cattle. They did have contact with other groups when they first starting migrating and expanding. They forced other people to leave, so they could settle before they moved again.
    They had contact when the Europeans came and took their land to start colonizing. The Europeans exposed them to diseases that they had no knowledge of. Since they had no knowledge, they had no cure so the disease spread killing a lot of the population.
    The Maasai people now have to resort to interacting with other ethnic groups in order to survive. They trade there stuff for other things they need. This is the effect their land being taken away. They need other things besides cattle to survive, so they do not have a choice.
