World of the Mehri

     


         Most Mehri are a part of tribes. There is a sheik who is the ruler of the tribe. The sheik is wise, is looked up to, has much knowledge of the outside world and Islam. The sheik protects the tribe, governs the tribe and provides land and territory for the tribe members to graze and heard their animals. 

         The Mehri are divided into two groups that both revolve around their animals. The semi-nomads are one of the groups. This group lives in the desert. Winter is when the semi-nomads graze their animals. Once it begins to get dry and summer hits, the semi-nomads move back into their villages. The settled Mehri are the second group that Mehri's could be divided into. These tribe members live in villages where they raise their camels and goats. They also keep farm animals to make eggs and milk. They work to provide themselves what they need to survive.
