The Sabaot

-

The Sabaot tribe is one of the nine sub-tribes of the Kalenjin tribe. The other eight tribes are: Sengwer, Tugen, Terik, Keiyo, Kipsigis, Pokot, Marakwet and Nandi who live in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. The Sabaots are the authentic Kalenjin tribe commonly referred as "Kapkugo" by the other Kalenjin sub-tribes. Sabaot tribe is comprised of six sub-dialects namely: The Pok, somek, Mosop, Kony, Bong'omek and Sabiny(Sebei). The Sabaot community has been subdivided into smaller segments who live in diverse regions due to factors such as British colonization, migration and political influence by dominant neighboring communities, tribes and governments.
