  • Visiting the Massai - The Last Hunter Gatherers Pt. 2 With Suz
    Apr 17 2024

    In this conversation, Suz shares her experiences visiting indigenous tribes in Africa, specifically the Maasai. She discusses their traditional diet and lifestyle including: the importance of their healing soup, made from special tree branches, their strong sense of community and deep connection to nature and traditional practices. Takeaways The Maasai tribe follows a traditional diet that includes milk, meat, and blood during the warrior stage, and transitions to a milk-based diet afterwards. The Maasai tribe values community and sharing, often giving portions of their slaughtered animals to neighbors and family members. Their deep connection to nature is evident in their traditional practices and their respect for the environment. Movement is an essential part of the Maasai lifestyle, and they believe it is necessary for maintaining good health. The tribe is concerned about being forced out of their land, which could impact their diet and way of life.
