But what is the origin or the Plaid Masai Shuka? We earlier said that although plaid is associated with Scotland, the pattern actually dates back to ancient Celtic populations between the 8th & 6th centuries BC. Elizabeth OFOSUAH JOHNSON in an article in Face2Face Africa refutes the popular narrative that the Masai people were inspired by the earliest Scottish missionaries who settled in East Africa.

No! Scottish missionaries did not inspire the traditional Shuka cloth of the Maasai

Elizabeth Ofosuah Johnson

ELIZABETH OFOSUAH JOHNSON | Staff Writer

Here is an excerpt: “As much as this narrative is believable, it is unfortunately not true. It suggests that the Maasai were not happy with their traditional wear until they came across the fabric of the Scottish missionaries and for an ethnic group who have stuck to their traditions till date, that is undoubtedly and definitely not the case.

The  Maasai made leather long before colonisation or the presence of westerners in Africa. They made leather out of rigid animal skin such as buffalos. They are also known to make their dyes using clay, purified animal blood, minerals, plants and crushed insects. This made it possible for producing colours such as red, blue, green and black.

Among these colours, red and blue were easier to do. The Shuka cloth patterns were original patterns used to design the mud cloths and leather garments they wore. They also designed their walls and bodies with the dye and patterns during ceremonies such as weddings and naming ceremonies.”
