The Luguru are a Bantu-speaking people living in the Uluguru Mountains in Tanzania whose traditional economy relied on small-plot hoe cultivation of cereals and pulses. The society is organized into several exogamous matriclans and localized matrilineages. Lineage heads wielded immense customary power, including administering land rights and enforcing community norms, while clan elders linked the living with deceased ancestors by presiding over rituals.
