The Masaai Culture

This is one of the few cultures that still survive in Kenya. People come from all walks of life to enjoy an experience in the Masaai manyatta even for a day. The Masaai are monotheistic and believe in God Engai. Their God was assumed to live on the mountain of God called Ol Donyo Lengai in Serengeti, Tanzania. the Laibon was the religious leader and he would perform special prayers and rituals in times of disasters such as drought. He was the link between the people and Engai. The Masaai culture did not allow for the people to bury there dead. They though that this would pollute the soil. They would throw away the dead bodied to be eaten by scavengers. The burial ceremony was an indulgence only for the dignitaries such as the Laibon and the chiefs. If a carcass was not eaten by the scavengers, this was thought top bring a bad omen to the village. They therefore adorned the bodied in animal blood and fat to entice the hyenas and jackals. The babies after birth were not fully accepted in to the society. This was due to the high infant mortality rate. If a baby survived three moons [3 months], it was given a name and fully introduced to the community. Boys were initiated at the age of 13to 25 years to become morans. This was through a very painful circumcision ceremony. The ceremony was performed after every 15 years and all the boys who were of age and not circumcised in the last ceremony would undergo the procedure.
