Lotuko (also, Lotuka) is an ethnic group in South Sudan. Their population exceeds 200,000. Their traditional home is Equatoria area on Southern Sudan. They speak Otuho language, a Nilotic language. The primary religion of the people is an ethnic religion based on nature and ancestor worship that is deeply rooted in their ethnic identity; conversion to another religion essentially equates to cultural assimilation. Their chief occupation is livestock raising, supplemented by hoe farming, hunting, and fishing.〔 〕 In recent times, the Murle people have traditionally raided the Lotuko, Lopit and other tribes in the area, abducting their children.〔 〕 Land is held in trust by the community; with no single person in authority. In the mountains, a group of people decide they will make gardens in a certain place. The group decide the boundaries of each person's garden, with certain areas being fallow (for up to 10 years) and other areas open to cultivation (for up to 4 years).〔 〕 ==References== http://www.gurtong.org/resourcecenter/people/profile_tribe.asp?TribeID=110 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lotuko people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
