Culture is a lifestyle which binds people together. As Maasai, our culture keeps us level, guides us, like a constitution guides a country. It gives us our identity and brings discipline within our community.
It has helped us to make choices and test the benefit of things like education, modern medicine and technology. We have a Maasai proverb which says matouaake emotorogi enkare. This means ‘let’s watch the goose to see if it can land safely and manage to swim’.
