Arbore Tribe
The Arbore territory is a savanna grassland around 500 m elevation. The Weito River (local name Lima) flows from north to south and runs into the Lake Chew Bahir (Chelbz), on the border between Ethiopia and Kenya. The people live along the lower part of the river.
The Arbore trace their ancestry from some of their neighbours like the Borana or the Marle, as is codified in the Arbore myths. The Arbore culture is ancient but not static. Arbore is said to be the name of the first ancestor of the Arbore Girl tribe. Arebore "ar" means land and "bore" also means bull. Therefor Arbore means "land of Bulls." They actually call themselves "Hoor", in reference to their dependence on the inundated flats.
