Consider the following statements. 1. Masai tribes are found in Somalia. 2. They are nomadic tribe which survive on cattle blood and meat. Which of is/are true ? Correct Answer Only 2
The correct answer is option 2.
- Masai, also spelled Masai, nomadic pastoralists of East Africa.
- Masai is essentially a linguistic term, referring to speakers of this Eastern Sudanic language (usually called Maa) of the Nilo-Saharan language family.
- These include the pastoral Maasai who range along the Great Rift Valley of Kenya and Tanzania, the Samburu of Kenya, and the semipastoral Arusha and Baraguyu (or Kwafi) of Tanzania.
- The pastoral Maasai are fully nomadic, wandering in bands throughout the year and subsisting almost entirely on the meat, blood, and milk of their herds.
- Their kraal, consisting of a large circular thornbush fence around a ring of mud-dung houses, holds four to eight families and their herds.
- Polygyny is common among older men; wife lending occurs between men of the same age-set. Marriage involves a substantial bride-price in livestock.
