The Masai are popular for their tradition of hair plaits, heavy iron necklaces, and fierce warriors. They are often illustrated carrying a spear and a Masai shield. The Masai's unique hair style is a symbol of their tradition and culture. Individuals prove they are true Morans (warriors) by wearing the plaits. Social structures in the traditional way of life reflect the principles of a male dominated society with polygamy being a norm. Wife inheritance subject to certain conventions, was also practiced. The traditional masai dwelling , known as the 'manyatta', is constructed by the women, using a wooden structure and a plaster made of cow dung and mud. Several of these manyattas could form a household for a masai family headed by the man. The total population of the Masai tribe is estimated at around 900,000. They have largely managed to maintain their traditional ways despite modernization in East Africa.
