Tradicionalmente criam gado, mas mais recentemente começaram a cultivar milho e tabaco para fins comerciais e a migrar rumo às cidades. São conhecidos como guerreiros habilidosos e historicamente atacaram seus vizinhos massais, e quisis para obter gado, mas com a chegada dos britânicos na região em 1905, os ataques cessaram.
