The two categories into which Maasai society was divided were:

• Elders: They formed the ruling group and met in periodic councils to decide on the affairs of the community and settle disputes.

• Warriors: They consisted of younger people, mainly responsible for the protection of the tribe. They defended the community and organised cattle raids.
