Okay so this dance This is for you. This is for all coming for you. Oh, okay. And also, there's one working around. Sometimes you go to the buoy for hunting. And also, sometimes you have a competition. The one in champion high, you don't pay dowry to get married. Wow! Yeah, because Maasai, if you get married, you'll have to pay 10 kaw for the family, for the girl. But if you come higher, you don't pay. How many wives can a Maasai marry? Maybe Maasai, you don't have limit for their wife. If you want to get 10 in wife, no problem. Wow! But now, maximum two wives. Now, maximum two wives. Okay, so... How many wives do you have? Two wives. Yeah. And how many cows do you spend? I spend seven cows, the first wife. Okay. Because the first wife, she choose by family. She choose mother and their father. But number two, I choose myself. Wow! So the one I choose myself, I pay 10 kaw. The one that your parent chose for you? Seven kaw. Seven kaw? Yeah. But why seven kaw? No 10. Because that time, I spend in the bush and I come back to the bush. So that time, you have big competition and you have big ceremony for my hay. Which means you go to the bush. What do you do in the bush? If you go to the bush, you spend five years in the bush. Five years in the bush? All by yourself? No, for the group, for the people. Okay. About maybe 20 people and old men, five old men and 20 boys. So if you go there, you go to learn about my side medicine. You go to learn about throwing the bone harrow, throwing the spears. And then in the bush there, the boys there will have to kill the male lion, not the female lion, just one lion. So the first spear, the first spear you get the lion and then the lion belongs for you. Wow! Yeah. So you kill the lion? Yeah. So time in the bush, me, I kill the lion. So that's why if I get married, you allow me to give me discount to the wife. But if you jump higher, you don't pay him. You don't pay a house. So two ways of getting married, that you have discount in Masai land, if you kill a lion, or if you can jump higher. If you jump higher, you don't pay anything. You get free. Free? Yeah. If you jump higher, worth more than even killing a lion. Yeah. Which means I'd rather spend all the money and get married because I cannot kill a lion. Can I jump so high? So I have to pay how many? Ten cows. That's the maximum. Yeah. That's interesting. But I can see everyone has like, like, yeah, in the teeth. Because Masai, maybe if you're traveling, you go different places. All Masai will have to do that. If you go traveling all places, and then if you look Masai, and then you know each other. What about the hair of Masai? Like, if you, in the warrior, the warrior's allowed to have the hairs. Like 15? And then 20. So if you chop the hairs, so that you're allowed to get married, you become a man like me now. Hi. That guy. No. This one? It's a wig, yeah? No, that one is not really hair. Oh, okay. That's the, remember the one in the bush. Oh, okay. No, remember that time in the bush. That time, remember that time in the bush. Yeah. Everyone here goes to school. Yeah. Do you have a school for the Masai? Yeah, you have a school. But you know, you know Kenyan. Yeah. So many tribes in Kenya. Yeah. So maybe the people who come will make business here. So the school here is all people in Kenya. The kids are not allowed to dress like this. You don't dress like this. But I love how the Masai have been able to preserve their culture. It's really something that I think almost every African country needs to emulate. Because if you talk of Kenya, talk of the Masai. Do you guys represent Kenya out there? You know, and I want to say, you guys are amazing. Do you watch the Masai worship? Do you watch religion? It's the Masai. Masai, you pray a village. You pray? You pray the village together. Okay. Everyone. So the Masai do not have a church? Yeah. Yes, yes. Yes, in the village, yes? Okay. Or you move outside to the village and then pray your family together. Wow. So you pray to who? To nature. To nature, yeah. Wow. How did I choose your homestead? How do you choose your homestead? Where to live? Like my father used to keep in the village. Oh, your father? So my father decided I put here the village. He put here another village because my father used to keep all this area. Oh, wow. So if you say you put your home here. You put it here. So you're a prince? Yeah. Oh, but I like how you planted this tree. You planted this tree? This is a Kecha tree. Yeah. This is a Kecha tree. They have elephants like them. Yeah. And also any giraffes like them. And also this is our medicine from the stomach problem. And we have stomach full. This one is pool water. Then boiling. Then drink. Drink. Then shh. You're okay? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. This is my house. Oh, wow. So the house you live for animals, you live for my family. What do you mean? Yeah. You stay here? You stay here for the young cow and baby sheep and my family. You also live here? Yeah. You stay with animals? Yeah. So this is my first wife, another wife here. Another wife here? Yeah. So how many days do you spend here and then spend over there? Maybe I spend one week here and then another week here. Or if I want to sleep today here, I sleep another day. You're chilling, Prince. Yeah. You're really chilling. Yeah. I really want to be in your shoes. Who built this? It's the women. The women. But by the women, by the men, you bring the big wood from the bush. Okay. And then you come to put down in the lady. We'll build it. What is on top? It's the top. You put grass and also you put the cow dung. Okay. And sometimes you put a plastic. But the plastic, you don't work many years. So if you put the grass and wood and cow dung, you stay many years. Many years. Wow. But the house, that's for you. But if you stay two minutes, three minutes, you're high-sea better. Oh. Yeah. Okay. So this is my house. Okay. It's my son. Oh. That's the bed for the children. Okay. And that's my room here. And where is your wife? My wife is dead today. Oh. And then here is the case bed. So what guest? Yeah, friend. Who, like me? Yeah. And this is a fireplace. It's a place for cooking. For cooking. Yeah. And also in the house you don't like the big window because for the most people. So that's why I have small windows. Oh. Yeah. So the whole house has, that's the only ventilation. Yeah. But it's warm in here. Yeah. It's very warm. Yeah. And I told you I'll bind you there. Say young cow, baby cow. Yeah. Baby sheep. Yeah. Why you don't sleep outside? Because your problem is leopard problem. Leopard comes in. Yeah. Big problem for the young cow. At night leopard comes in. Yeah. So you don't sleep with leopards. Yeah. But I have people watching night. And I have about dog to birth night. Oh. Yeah. Do you have lion that comes in? Yeah. Yeah. But some animal problem for us is hyena. Ah. Hyena is coming every day. Every day. Every day. Are you guys going to take the cows for grazing this morning? Yeah. Who are the people who do that? Maybe for us. Okay. Maybe tomorrow me, guide tomorrow. Change. Change. But then when you go, you don't meet lions on the road? You meet. You meet them, but you don't scare. Because if you scare, you eat you. The lions has eaten my side before. Yeah. But it's not dangerous. It's dangerous because you live together. Wow. Yeah. But does it mean that a my side is also capable of killing the lion while you are? You defend. Nowadays you don't allow to kill the lion. Nowadays you're not allowed. Yeah. But to defend ourselves. First the lion killed my cows. And I killed my friend. And also for me you defend.
