The Eunoto ceremony is performed by members of the age set, ten years after warriorhood. It marks the status of a warrior transitioning to a senior warrior. This initiation also permits senior warriors to marry, which in turn prepares them to become future fathers. The ceremony takes place in another specially chosen camp that includes a total of forty-nine houses. The forty ninth house is known as Osinkira, a large mud hut made specificaly for the Oloiboni. Warriors on a daily basis will entertain the Oloiboni until the event is over. Every graduating warrior must shave his long ochre-stained hair, which is done by the warrior's mother.

Circumcision initiation elevates an individual from childhood to adulthood. In order for the boy to be initiated he must prove himself to the community. The boy must exhibit signs of a grown man, by carrying a heavy spear, herding large herd of livestock.

There are many ceremonies in Maasai society including Enkipaata (senior boy ceremony), Emuratta (circumcision), Enkiama (marriage), Eunoto (warrior-shaving ceremony), Eokoto e-kule (milk-drinking ceremony), Enkang oo-nkiri (meat-eating ceremony), Olngesherr (junior elder ceremony), etc. Also, there are ceremonies for boys and girls minor including, Eudoto/Enkigerunoto oo-inkiyiaa (earlobe), and Ilkipirat (leg fire marks). Traditionally, boys and girls must undergo through these initiations for minors prior to circumcision. However, many of these initiations concern men while women's initiations focus on circumcision and marriage. Men will form age-sets moving them closer to adulthood.

Women do not have their own age-set but are recognized by that of their husbands. Ceremonies are an expression of Maasai culture and self-determination. Every ceremony is a new life. They are rites of passage, and every Maasai child is eager to go through these vital stages of life. Following is where a boy's life begin in the Maasai society.

My final day fell on the day of the Red Market in village by Barbara Weibel, so named because everyone wears red. Here the Maasai gather every Saturday afternoon to sell livestock and purchase supplies for the next week. For hours before the market began, scores of young Maasai men walked down the mountain roads to the village, dragging goats and sheep to be slaughtered or sold. Maasai women balanced enormous bags full of beans, rice, or corn on their heads as they trod the dusty road. At 2 PM we walked to town and joined the throngs at the market. The livestock was being offered for sale on the right side of the road. Men pinched the rumps of the goats to see if they were plump and prized apart their jaws to inspect their teeth. The sheep and goats strained at their tethers, as if they knew their fate.

Unlike the predominantly Christian populations in Tanzania that surround them, the Maasai traditionally place themselves at the center of their universe as God's chosen people. Like other African religions, the Maasai believe that one high god (Engai) created the world, forming three groups of people.

The first were the Torrobo, a hunting and gathering people of small stature to whom God gave honey and wild animals as a food source. The second were the neighboring Kikuyu, farmers to whom God gave seed and grain.The third were the Maasai, to whom God gave cattle, which came to earth sliding down a long rope linking heaven and Earth.
