I need some assistance with these assignment. maasai community Thank you in advance for the help! In terms of chronology of events relative to the historical disposition, in terms of the prehistory of the Maasai- they lived in the lands of their ancestors for many years in Tanzania and Kenya. Anthropologist, social down commentators and historians have referred to that area as the “The Cradle of Mankind.” It is conventional knowledge and wisdom that human beings of the current generation can only trace the origin of their history to the extent to which they may learn from artifacts and fossils. In the fourteenth century, the Maasai entered a sojourn to the lower parts of the Nile Valley and later on settled on the tropical zones and lands stretching Tanzania and Kenya. In the mid-eighteenth century, the Maasai did extend their territorial waters and integrity by entering Tanzania where they raided natives over there for cattle. In the 1870s a small subtribe of the Maasai called the Kore was captured during one of their military escapades in Somalia and got assimilated there. In the modern day and society, they speak the Somali language instead of the Maa language. However, their heritage and ancestral history still qualify them to be called the Maasai. .The Maasai community is structured around uniqueness where the roles and duties of men are different from the roles and duties performed by women. At the age of puberty-boys are circumcised and ushered into adulthood, while girls are also passed through circumcision which has until the recent past attracted global condemnation called the female genital mutilation. It is also at this age where the men participate in raids for cattle and other things.
