The Maasai are a tribe of people who live in parts of Tanzania and Kenya and they are known as fierce warriors. They are tall and can be recognized by the special red cloth that they wear called a Shuka. They live a nomadic life, meaning they move place to place with their animals. The Maasai see the national census as government meddling and often miscount their numbers to census takes. The Maasai society is comprised of sixteen sections ( Iladamat, llpurko, llkeekonyokie, lloitai, llkaputiei, llkankere, Isiria, llmoitanik, lloodokilani, lloitokitoki, llarusa, llmatatapato, llwuasinkishu, Kore, Parakuyu, and llkisonko.

Regional Costumes

Regional costumes can also be seen in the northern Minho province at weddings and other festivals. Women dress in extremely colourful and rich costumes, often in red and white, and wear several long ornate gold necklaces, covering their heads with a scarf.
In Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro shepherds wear straw cloaks, while the wearing of black for protracted periods of mourning is common especially in villages in the interior of Portugal.
In Madeira, the regional dresses can often be seen at local markets and flower stalls.

Answer:
The sick and invalid members of society were cared for by the healthy citizens
Explanation:
From this passage, we get a simple very nice picture about the basics of how the Inca society worked. Everyone that was capable of working was working, and everyone was treated in the same manner, had the same rights, and the hierarchy was somewhat horizontal. The members of the society that had health problems or were disabled, thus were not able to work, were taken care by the other members of the society, and they were receiving the basic means for living for free from the storehouses.
