The Turkana are a Central Nilotic people mostly living in the Turkana district of Kenya. The Turkana as an ethnic group are internally divided into two major divisions; Ngimonia and Ngichoro. Each division is further divided into territorial sections identified with an area that is open to all members of the section.  The Turkana are primarily nomadic pastoralists who depend on camels, cattle, sheep and goats. Some Turkana are also engaged in small-scale agriculture, fishing and seasonal hunting.
