oNomad to Sedentary

Maasaï are pastoralism nomads. They came in Tanzania from Kenya and they especially live next to mount Kilimanjaro. Men were warriors, they were fighting to get new lands. New generations are no more fighters but more and more sedentary.

Maasaï traditions are progressing with time, but they are always connected to cows.

Maasaï women traditions

Every day starts in the sunrise, milking caws. Then women have to cook, they need water they can’t find easily during the dry season and wood they get in the bush, always further.

Every day ends with the sunset, milking cows. Then women have to cook.

In between they have to clean, to wash clothes, to take care of the kids… and sometimes they have time to farm vegetables.

Final the women have to build themself the house for their kids, made of wood, mud and cow dung, the traditonnal hunt is replaced by modern house.

Way of life is changing, primary needs are different
