History |
Cliff dwellers, early history indicated that they lived in caves.
There is little rainfall and the people live in a rocky terrain. The people are farmers and must grow crops on terraced land and must carry water for their crops. Crops include Millet, Sorghum, vegetables, fruit and cotton. The people raise goats, sheep, and chickens.
Villages are grouped around a well and the leader of the group is the father of the extended family.
