Killer Keemstar Speech
-kk:Hello everyone, i am your host, Killer keemstar and we will be leaning much about a ritual called “emurtatare,” with Van Darkholme; a anthropologist experted on the Maasai people for years and one himself. Lets get right into the interview!!!!

I remembered my friends and family supporting me during my thime and boy did it helped, i doubt i could be so still from the pain without an urge to scream.
This has happened to many tribes but has any or some external forces affected the passage
8. From outside influence, female Emuratare is less common due to how taboo it seem, men conitue this practice, even excited for it. Despite preivous colonal attempts and Kenyan goverments at stop their cultural lifestyle, the Maasaians perisist in their traditions. The british brought ¾ of their population to death, that is how conservative we are.hey live in kenya and are consided indigous people who refuse to be assumlated and contiue many of their old roots.
9. his passage shows what the3 boy has in his strength as the next step is to train to be a warrior, the gitf of cattles means the male can watch over settles as cattles are the Maasai’s main source of food. Tradtionally, the Maasaisans have high male death rate compare to women from war in their past and they need strong young
