Kioko

Kioko is a name recorded for the Chokwe people of the central African interior. Their country includes wooded savannas and river valleys, where farming, hunting and fishing followed the seasons. Chokwe communities had ties to the Lunda political world, and their chiefs shared traditions of descent associated with the Lunda migrations. In the eighteenth century Chokwe traders took part in exchanges across that wider region, carrying ivory and wax along inland routes.
