Sukuma tribe - Sukuma tribe (English spelling) Sukuma

Japanese: スクマ族 - スクマぞく(英語表記)Sukuma
Sukuma tribe - Sukuma tribe (English spelling) Sukuma
A Bantu-speaking ethnic group living in the southwest of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. They are culturally and linguistically very close to the neighboring Nyamwezi people, and together they have an estimated population of over 5 million, making them the largest in Tanzania. Their livelihood is a mixed economy of agriculture, mainly corn and millet cultivation, and cattle breeding. Cotton has been introduced as a cash crop. The chiefdoms, which had been separate for more than two centuries, formed a federation in 1946, which later became an administrative division of the Tanzanian government. They practice polygamy, and descent, inheritance, and succession are generally patrilineal, but the chief's position is passed down to the son of the sister. Bridewealth also has important implications for inheritance.

タンザニアのビクトリア湖南西部に住むバンツー語系の一民族。隣住するニャムウェジ族と文化的・言語的に非常に近く,人口は合せて 500万以上と推定され,タンザニア最大。生業は,とうもろこし,きびなどの栽培を中心とする農業と牛の飼養の混合経済である。換金作物として綿花が導入されている。2世紀以上にわたって分立していた首長国家群は,1946年に連邦を結成したが,それがのちにタンザニア政府の一行政区画となった。一夫多妻制で,出自,相続,継承は一般に父系的であるが,首長の職はその姉妹の息子へ継承される。婚資は相続上も重大な意味をもっている。
