Kenya-Culture-Maasai

Nixon Kupera Ole Metoi, 25, sits inside his "Manyatta", his home in the community made of cow dug, after he was ordained Maasai age-group leader of the Iltuati morans in the village of Mbirukani in Kajiado on June 27, 2015. The ordination of Metoi is a symbolic gesture that carries with it great influence, respect and power not only among his age-mates but also the wider community. The Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group of semi-nomadic people inhabiting southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of the African Great Lakes and their distinctive customs and dresses.
