Bukusu Clans




Babukusu are known for their diversity of their clans. They are different: chikholo che Burwa (aligned to Kalenjin), che Bunyala (from Banyala), che Silikwa (formed after Silkiwa dispersal wars), che Bumasai (assimilated from Masai), che Bumasaaba (from Ebugisu, UG) and che Ebuyumbu (aligned to Tachoni). 

Other types include: chikheba (give circumcision doctors), che bubasi (black smithery), chirera kamaarara (control hailstones), chikimba efula (rain-making powers), chisolosya kamang’u (conjure orges), chiselusya enjofu (elephant herders), chiswala kumusee (give public speakers), che ekutusi (ruling class), chichasila eng’enda (avoid tan cows), chichuba kumukasa (wear elder’s copper bracelets), chikhalia engokho (avoid chicken meat), chichumba embongo (avoid deer meat) and chisicha (offer clan secrets) among others.
