The Masai are an African ethnic group located in Kenya and Northern Tanzania.

The Masai speak the language Maa and are either Islamic or Christian. 

The Masai shield and spears are used mainly for hunting, warfare, and self-defense.

The Masai go to war with neighboring tribes, although they are usually peaceful. 

They will fight back in self-defense when other tribes attack them.

The Masai make their shields out of animal hide/leather and paint.

The spears are made out of wood and metal tips with designs etched into the wood.

The tips are made of stone and metal arrowheads.
