The Maasai peoples are pastoral nomads, living in the Serengeti Plains by Kenya and Uganda. Their wealth, livelihood, and religion all revolve around cattle.  The main garment worn by the Maasai is the shuka, which is a basic piece of fabric that can be worn in a variety of ways, depending on the personal style of the wearer.
