The Berbers

The berbers (bérbére) live in the southern part of Morocco, in and around the high Atlas Mountains. A nomadic people, they are frequently found in small, make-shift tents plopped in the middle of the desert or in the mountains near an oasis or river. They raise farm animals to use not only as a food source, but as "currency" for their barter system. However, Morocco recently brought electricity to most villages, so there's been more of a sense of permanence among their culture. The Berbers are comprised of various ethnic groups, each with different customs, lifestyles and even skin tones, which suggests that there was hanky panky going on with some of the sub-Saharan peoples at some point in the past.
