Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The warriors consisted of young people who were responsible for the protection of the Maasai tribe. Maasai society was split into two social groups in pre-colonial times: elders and warriors. Younger people, mostly in charge of defending the tribe, made up the warriors. They organised cattle raids and defended the community. In times when cattle were a symbol of income, raiding was important. Raids maintained the authority of several pastoral groups. By attacking the cattle of other pastoralist communities and getting involved in wars, young men identified themselves as members of the warrior class.
