The Maasai

Happy Easter everyone!
We've been asked to research the Maasai Tribe of Kenya and Tanzania. I found this very interesting in that I hope to meet some of the people from this tribe. From what I've seen on the internet they seem like very interesting people. They where bright colors and have an interesting culture.
The people of the community often times get their ears pierced and stretch their earlobes. More women get their ears pierced than men. All sorts of materials are used to pierce and stretch ears.
Their are many other cultures within this tribe. Many young men train to be soldiers.
If I could ask a woman in the Maasai tribe anything I would ask about their life and what they do on a regular day. Maasai women are often under appreciated. I personally love attention and expect so much for everything I do. Although I am not proud of this I think it makes me work harder and I wonder how these women feel about how they are treated.
Being asked to research this tribe not only intrigued me but also made me think of how different so many cultures are from our own.
