There are currently 1.2 million nomadic
Pastoralists in Iran,
Organized in over 500 Tribes and independent clans. They share with
each other three essential Characteristics:
*they migrate regularly between Summering and wintering quarters
(usually from cooler mountain pastures to warmer plains) in order to
take Advantage of seasonal grazing resources.
*They are traditional herders of sheep, goats, camels and other
livelihood.
*They have tribe structures often based on kinship clan and other
types of communal organization.
Cattle - raising & Tribal structure of the
society are both attributed to migratory way of life, yet these are
not the only characteristics. The only factors distinguishing them
from sedentary communities are the seasonal migrations & lack of
specific village settlement. Unfortunately we don't have sufficient
information regarding the nomadic tribes in Iran before Islam. In
the Islamic era, Iranian tribes consisted of Kurds, Lurs, ~aluchis,
Arabs, Turks & the barahuis. This style of living gained
importance in Seljuk period (11th- 14th century). Migratory Iranian
tribes mainly live along the Zagros mountain range and in West &
East Azarbaijan in the western part of Iran as well as in
Kermanshahan, Khuzistan, Luristan, 11am and chahar - Mahal -o-
Bakhtiyari, Kohkiluyeh and Boyer - Ahmad, Fars, Khorassan, Sistan
& Baluchistan, Semnan & the central
region of Iran.
The hierarchy of division in tribes in Iran , for example among
Qashqaies are as follows: Tribes are usually divided into a few
clans. Clans in turn consist of a few sects which are further
divided into "Bonkus" consisting of a few families called
"Obeys".
Handicrafts, well - known in the world have an important role in the
economy of the tribal family. Meat & dairy products constitute
their main economic activites. Tribes often define their group &
clans in terms of tents. "Tent" denotes the word"
home". Depending on their ethnic background, Iranian tribes
speak Persian, Kurdish, Turkish and Arabic. |
