Kohistani and Okavango Delta Peoples

The cultures that I compared are the Kohistani of Pakistan and The Okavango Delta Peoples of Botwana.

Both the Bugakwe and Xanekwe people live in small groups centered in extended family relationships. These families move sporadically, whenever there is depletion of game animals, they also camp together for long periods of time, sometimes up to several years before going their separate ways. The Dxeriku, Hambukush and Wayeyi people live in short-term housing with patrilocal extended family settlements. The Dxeriku and Hambukushu people have chiefs that are called paramount chiefs. It is up to these chiefs to lead and guide using the correct authority over all others for that specific people. It has been only in recent years that the Botswana people have had a chief. In contrast, the Kohistani live in a village where they're family lives close by all the time. They have many brothers, both blood and not called Ja. Ja, the Kohistani word for brother, refers not only to a male sharing the same father but one sharing the same paternal grandfather as well.

Kohistanis think that all male descended through men from a common ancestor are brothers in a sense, and unified as a group against outsiders. This is a patrilineal descent gr


Both the Okavango Delta Peoples of Botwana and the People of Kohistani are very different in the way that they live, but both of their cultures are just right for them. It is important to remember that even though ever culture is different, everyone is different and that is what makes the world so interesting
