Tekna

Tekna

The Tekna is a Sahrawi tribal confederation of Lamta Sanhaja Berber and arab origins in southern Morocco and parts of northern Western Sahara, but traditionally with wider migration routes.

The Tekna tribes speak Hassaniya Arabic and the Berber Tamazight in varying degrees. They are the most southernly tribe of the area. They are divided into several berber and arab subtribes, organized into the two rivalling Ait Djemel and Ait Bella "leff", or factions. All Tekna are Muslims, belonging to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. Their traditional lifestyle was partly nomadic, based on camel and goat herding, and partly sedentary, controlling important routes of the Saharan caravan trade.
