  • apparently their philosophy and standards of their basic english is better than some of the developed country. look for ":god grew tired for us" in national geographic

  • 3. The colonial government was concerned that the Masai cattle were damaging savanna used by giraffe,wildebeest and elephants important to tourism revenues. In addition, the Masai found themselves in competition for land with agriculturalists and commercial cash crop estates. from afrodesium.

    When you destroy an ancient culture and take over their land, it is a matter of time before they become like the barbarians who invaded and interfered and destroyed.

  • 2. near European estates (for fear they would contaminate the European herds) and they weren't allowed to sell their cattle on the European dominated market. The British government saw the Maasai raiding practices as barbaric and aggressive and took steps to stop them by fining them, imprisoning them or confiscating their cattle.Grazing was further hampered by the National Park Ordinance of 1945 which established large game reserves. from afrodesium

  • 1. The first major challenge to the Maasai came in 1900 when the boundary between German formed Tanganiyka and British formed Kenya sliced directly through Maasailand. Later the colonial treaties of 1911 and 1912 forced the Maasai off of the central highlands north of the Uganda-Mombassa railroad into a reserve in southern Kenya. Their dry-season water holes and grazing lands were stripped from them by the Europeans. They were not allowed to graze their cattle -from afrodiseum

  • Most beautiful classroom ever !

  • I wish if i could help them.&learn their amazing handcraft.

  • Oh my, I would love to own some of their amazing jewelry!

  • Good luck to them. If they were close I would help them.

  • How beautiful...I can't imagine the amount of work it takes them to create such beautiful jewelry. This is very inspirational. It's amazing how different our lives can be. To me it seems like chance that I was born in North America & not Africa..I could have been born to anyone from anywhere on this planet. My life could be so different.

  • the masculine & femiNINE balance is very much needed these days but God/Goddess willing they arent corrupted by western-feminism that makes females that wanna be masculine and makes these princess-boys and homo-thugs

  • @oystein127 Sier du, en 8 år gammel unge.

  • @MediaWillRise du er sikkert en stygg pakkis muslims homse

  • @oystein127 lol ,stupid redneck.

  • @oystein127 Nei, jeg er medlem i Norwegian Defence League, er ganske sexy (moren din er ihvertfall enig) er ikke fra Pakistan, og jeg er hetrofil.

    Har du noe du skulle ha sagt da? Taper.

  • "Women hold up half the sky" - Mao Zedong.

  • Unless the women are free, nobody is free. Africa needs to learn this... Create a new tradition of empowerment for women and girls. Status quo is getting them nowhere.

  • Meeeeen why change the masai! Somebody's gon kill tourism and the least African culture

  • improved education means less children. 

  • If the British never had this industrial revolution, our world wouldn't be destroyed like it is today. Seeing people living their ancient traditional way gives me hope.

  • @KriztofferKriztenzen If someone cannot understand writing it's called functional analphabetism. How is it called when someone cannot understand a simple Youtube video? This video what 'ancient traditional' way means - unequalities so stark, especially for women, it's unheard of in developed world.

  • @LikeAPossum I guess we should find a balance between our modern world and the ancient world.

    There are good things and there are bad things.

  • @KriztofferKriztenzen I think that due to the advances in science the industrial revolution was inevitable. My problem is that the way we operate as a civilization is not fair, and not sustainable. Those in power at the moment dont care about this as it conflicts with their pursuit of profit.

    We need a new societal system that respects the rights of all and more than that respects the earth we live on.

    Check out The Zeitgeist Movement my friend

  • @KriztofferKriztenzen I agree with you. People are very unhappy, high, perverted, stupid and shallow because they've lost their traditions. Marriages aren't working, kids are wayward. The great satan wants to spread this "dream" to spoil the entire world, and for what? An ultimate destruction of what will become the middle class.

  • damn it, the cancer of repressive patriarchy is everywhere!!!

  • These people are the torchlight of humanity, a little bit of light in the dark...

  • women having them shaved visually turns them into freaks

  • This may be off topic, but Maasai people have such nice clothes!

  • @GGLebo23 I AGREE! It amazes me how they can make such beautiful clothes & jewelry by hand! Someone should find a way to put their stuff on-line I know it would sell! They could sell their traditional stuff as well as alter jewelry for a more global customer! They would make more money than they have ever seen! However, they have horrible husbands who are basically lazy & make the women do everything & do not allow them to work. SAD!!

  • @Viracocha711 I have been trying for months. It's impossible to connect with these tribes and those Africans I've spoken with have been brainwashed to look down upon traditional ways. They are going the way of the evil ones.

  • @ddsharper Really? That is very sad to hear!

  • @Viracocha711 the men are NOY lazy. They have societal ancient customs.

  • @ddsharper IO will try to round up the video but I have seen where the congregate & talk while sitting in the shade while the women work all day long! You might call it "ancient customs" but they could be sharing the work. I call it "lazy" sorry if that might not be the way you would describe it. However, I would love to hear what it is the men do all day long everyday besides talking amongst themselves. I love to learn.

  • @Viracocha711 - The Masai were mighty warriors who staved off the European 3 times until Britain brought guns and slaughtered them, ran them off of their land and destroyed their central culture. Once winning back independence, colonialism destroyed their infrastructure. Get whites out of Africa. They have maimed, killed and destroyed, only to have you call them lazy. Defeated and raped is more like it. Read Leopold's Ghost.

  • @ddsharper NO! You are trying to avoid my original point! The British & Colonialism have NOTHING to do with the abuse these women endure...They are abused, beaten, genital mutilation, raped, sold as property and YES forced to do most of the hard labor including building their own homes! Why you, one who claims to know so much about the Maasai, choses to ignore this EVIL DISGUSTING FACT or make excuses for the heart breaking abuses these women endure is beyond me!

  • @Viracocha711 - I am not going to argue the point with you. Unless you understand the poison of colonialism and European invasion of Africa, you cannot understand the effects on the people. Everything Europe touches is ruined in favor of white supremacy. What you consider laziness is displacement, cruelty tradition and way of life a response to destruction of their society. Unless you study Africa, your perspective will be to judge the responses to colonialism and responses to continued

  • @Viracocha711 interference, although clandestine, on African peoples. As far as mutilation, that is their tradition, not ours. As far as abuse- it's a direct result of colonialism and barbarism from European values. It's no different than what results in American ghettos, created by the credos of white supremacy and the dumping of drugs into the ghettos. Blame the victims and analyze simplistically- that's the way of the European. Judge those he's destroyed and never take responsibility.

  • @GGLebo23 by that you mean crappy cheap and dirty
