Maasai...
"The Maa, or Maasai, who number more than 300,000, are spread
over a large area of southern Kenya and adjacent Tanzania, west
of Lake Natron.   The numerous Maasai tribes include the Arusha
and Kisonko in the south, and the Kurko, Matapato, Damat,
Keekonyokye, and many others in the north.   Maasai is classified
as an Eastern Sudanic (Nilo-Hamitic) language."
