Iyo ubajije ba mukerarugendo bakunze kujya muri Kenya na Tanzania agace kabashimisha bakunda gusura bakubwira ko ari agace gatuwe n’abamaasai.
Kubera ko abantu bo mu bwoko bwa Masayi bafite umuco wihariye udakunze kugaragara ahandi.
Maasai n’ubwoko butuye mu mashyamba akikije za Parike z’inyamaswa. Ubu bwoko bukaba bukunze kugira umuco wo kunywa amaraso y’inyamaswa no guhiga intare cyane.
Gusa nta muntu utari uwo mu bwoko bw’abamasayi uzi neza imico yabo ku buryo buhagije, usibye ibintu bimwe na bimwe abamasayi babwira abantu bityo bigatuma hari imico yabo tumenya ariko nayo itari myinshi.
Hano hari ibintu bigera ku 8 twagukusanyirije utari uzi ku bwoko bw’abamasayi.
Icya mbere nuko abamasayi ari ubwoko butuye mu majyepfo ya Kenya no muri kenya yo hagati, kandi nanone ubuu bwoko buboneka no muri Tanzania.
Icya kabiri nuko abamasayi bagira umuco wo kunywa amaraso y’amatungo. Nubwo kunywa amaraso y’amatungo ari ibintu bitamenyerewe mu yandi moko atuye Isi ariko bo ni umuco bubaha cyane.
Abahungu b’abamasayi bakunze kunywa amaraso iyo bakebwe (kubasilamula), naho abagore bayanywa iyo babyaye, mu gihe abasaza bakuru bo bakayanywa mu gihe bumva bafite amavunane.
Icya gatatu nuko Abamasayi bakunze guhiga intare cyane gusa ubu buhigi ntibucyemewe na guverinoma zombi (Kenya na Tanzaniya) kubera ko intare, kimwe n’izindi nyamaswa nyinshi, zigenda zigabanuka cyane kandi zigana ku rutonde rw’ibinyabuzima bigenda byangirika.
Ariko hashize igihe, abaturage ba Maasai baha uburemere bwo guhiga intare bufatwa nk’umuhango wo gutambuka ku barwanyi bato bifuzaga kwerekana ubutwari kandi bafite imbaraga.
Aba bahigi babo bahiga mu matsinda kandi intare z’ingabo ni zo zonyine zihigwa.
Icya kane nuko aba Maasai baha agaciro cyane abana babo hamwe n’amatungo. Kuri Maasai, inka ni uburyo bw’ifaranga. Bamara ubuzima bwabo bwose bakusanya ubutunzi bwabo mu buryo bw’inka.
Amatungo bayakoresha mu gushiraho imibereho, kurongora, gucuruza no kurinda ejo hazaza habo. Mubyukuri, ikintu cyonyine bashobora guha agaciro kuruta inka zabo ni umwana.
Aba Maasai babona ko abana ari umugisha ku baturage bose kandi abagore babo bagira uruhare rwabo kandi bakagira uruhare muri societe babyara abana benshi uko bashoboye, kuko kuboneza urubyaro si igitekerezo bemera habe na gato.
Icya gatanu nuko aba Maasai batajya bashyingura abantu babo bapfuye, kuko bo bemera ko iyo umuntu apfuye iherezo rye riba rigeze, urugendo rwe rw’ubuzima ruba rurangiye, ahubwo bo umurambo bawushira ahantu hagaragara bawusize amaraso y’inyamaswa cyangwa ibinure ku buryo udusimba n’izindi nyamaswa ziwumva zikaza kuwurya.
Icya gatandatu nuko bakunze kubahiriza umuco wo kuraga bagendeye ku ruhererekane rw’umuryango. Iyo umubyeyi w’umugabo ashaje abona yegereje igihe cyo gupfa, ahamagara abahungu be, ubundi buri wese akagenda amuha ikintu cy’agaciro mu mitungo ye.
Akenshi rero babaraga inka, ba bahungu bakuru nabo baregenda bagaha imfura zabo igice gito cy’umutungo mu byo barazwe. Ibyo babikora mu rwego rwo kubatoza kuba abakuru b’imiryango.
Icya karindwi nuko mu muco w’aba Maasai nta mugabo wubaka inzu yo kubamo ahubwo abagore nibo bazubaka, bakaba bubaka inzu z’ibyatsi zikoze mu buryo bw’uruziga.
Inzu z’aba Maasai zizwi ku izina rya “Inkajijik”. Mu gihe abagabo bo akazi kabo ari ukuragira amatungo, guhiga no kubungabunga umutekano w’imiryango yabo.
Icya munani nuko bakunda indirimbo n’imbyino zabo cyane, kuko ntibajya baririmba cyangwa nggo babyine indirimbo zitari izabo. Bakunze kuririmba ibyitwa “umuhogo” aho baba bigana amajwi y’inka.
