The majority of Nupe are located in west-central Nigeria, northwest of the Niger River in the lowlands centered on its tributary, the Kaduna. A centralized Nupe kingdom emerged in the fifteenth century. Although subject to the conquering Fulani starting in 1820, and subsequently to the British colonial authority and to an independent Nigerian state, the king remains an important symbol of unity. The Nupe typically live in large villages or towns. Most Nupe practice shifting cultivation and fishing is important along rivers. Craftsmen organized by guilds are renowned for their metallurgy, textiles, glass beads and woodworking.
