The Shluh belong to the Masmuda branch of sedentary Berbers inhabiting the Grand-Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains and the Sous River Valley in southern Morocco. They are primarily agricultural, utilizing plow cultivation, irrigation, and the terracing of fields. Animal husbandry is second in importance. Kin groups of 10 to 50 families are headed by the eldest male member and form clan-barrios occupying either a small hamlet or a specific quarter in a larger village. A larger social unit called a MUDA is the basic land-owning and political unit and is governed by a democratic assembly.
