The Karimojong live and die for cattle — the determinant of seemingly
everything in a pastoral life. This is what drives many to live on the
edge, as nomadic warriors are constantly on the move to find enough
water, to increase their herds, to defend their own and to get cattle
for dowries. Women often stay at one central settlement called a manyata or ere, where they look over small farms and raise the young children.
Even though the region they inhabit seems lawless, the Karimojong
traditionally have a relatively democratic society based on a
patriarchal age-set system led by the warriors, also known as the
Gazelles or ngigetei, and, above all, the elders, also known as the Mountains or ngimoru.
Life is communal on the whole with men taking many wives, if they can
afford their dowries, and extended families often living together or
near each other and participating in everyday tasks together.
