Abstract
In this paper, Uziogwe examines the historically close relationship between Bunyoro and Luo neighbors to the north. Although the two peoples were politically separate, they did have judicial, commercial, and military relations. The Luo often brought their disputes before the Bunyoro king for adjudication. Salt, ivory, millet, and iron were among more important items traded between the two regions. Trading partners customarily formed blood brother relationships. The Langi cooperated with the Bunyoro in military campaigns against other kingdoms, including the Buganda, and many joining Kabalega's standing army.
