Maasai warriors
Maasai warriors, known as Moran, are young men from the Maasai community of East Africa, primarily Kenya and Tanzania. Traditionally, they undergo initiation rites that mark their transition into adulthood and warrior status, involving rituals, dancing, and skills training. As warriors, they play a vital role in community protection, cattle herding, and upholding cultural values. While modern influences have led to changes in their lifestyle, Maasai warriors remain a symbol of cultural pride, bravery, and identity for the Maasai people.
