Ngikwatela

Ngikwatela is one of the territorial sections of the Turkana, a pastoral people of the dry country west of Lake Turkana. It belongs to the Ngimonia division, associated with a later phase of Turkana settlement in the region. In an account of Turkana origins, a woman named Nayece travels into the mountains and establishes the Ngikwatela section. Such traditions remember the division of the country through the journeys and acts of its ancestors.
