This is a group of Maasai men. They often sit on the small stools or on their sticks (the man on the far right in the bright red is sitting on his long stick) then chat all day (or so it seems). Maasai men have various respect and responsibility depending on status level. Some of the younger men in the picture are most likely responsible for guarding the cattle, sheep, and bomas at night. (Boma is the word for their homes, such as the hut in the background which is made of mud, cow dung, and sticks with a straw roof. )
