Detailed Solution

Raids are, therefore, crucial to the Maasai civilization because they help gather cattle for wealth. The Warrior group comprises the youth, who are given the duty to raid. They are in charge of ensuring the tribe's safety as well. These young people plan cattle attacks and defend the neighbourhood. Robbing was a sign of strength and power in a civilization like the Maasai, where livestock was valued highly. The young men gained recognition as warriors by raiding. They were forced to engage in conflict and raid the cattle of other pastoral communities.
