u guys have tribes interesting how does that work politically and also how is a tribe structured
pretty easy. There is a Horde, then a Tribe then a clan. Then within a clan there are sub clans and 7“forefathers”. Every Kazakh should know his or her 7 forefathers and marriages where one forefather within first 7 generations is shared are forbidden
hordes are situated geographically and have different origins. My horde Kishi Juz is situated on the west and almost exclusively has one big tribe that originated from original Tatars that killed Genghis Khan’s father. Our history is with Golden Horde therefore a lot of our history is more tied into Caucasus, Crimea, Eastern Europe. Orta Juz is situated in central and northern Kazakhstan and they are a mix of different ancient tribes. Naimans are from Orta Juz. Basically that horde was created for all various tribes with different origins. Some tribes there have Aryan background some Ancient Turkic some Hunnic some Sinitic even. Then finally Uly Juz, is in Southeast Kazakhstan and they are almost exclusively comprised of Mongol tribes like legimitately Mongolian tribes
