The Maasai people are a Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting northern, central and southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are best known for their distinct customs and clothing culture. The Maasai people’s traditional way of life is centered on cattle and they have depended on the cattle for food, religion, and clothing. The Maasai Shuka has become their trademark and they wear it with utmost pride and elegance. Dominated by the color red, other primary colors used in different prints of the Shuka represent different aspects – or elements – of the Maasai culture.(1) Maasai men, also known as the morans, performed a traditional dance called The Adumu, and it has been one of the most traditional dances of Maasai History.
