Case Study 3 The Kel Tamasheq SUSAN E. GUNN INTRODUCTION The following is bued on nine months of fieldwork undertaken by the author in southern Mali among the nomadic Kel Tamasheq (Tuareg). Most of this time was spent with the Oulliminden tribe, which inhabits the area between Gao on the Niger River and the Niger border. These people are one of the most isolated of the Kel Tamasheq groUpsj the lack of outside influence is reflected both in their material culture and diet. The Kel Tamasheq's physical setting borders the southern Sahara and is known as the West African Sahel. This region is characterized by an annual rainfall of 15-1SO mm, which allows the survival of a vegetation pattern dominated by annuals such as Cenclaru, hi /foru and Trihulu terre"ris and trees such as Brdanite, aegyptiaca and Acacia spp. The fauna include Gazella dorctU and G. dama, as well as the ostrich, warthog, and giraffe, although these wild populations have been drastically reduced in recent years because of the use of motorized vehicles and firearms (Nicholas, 1950j Richer, 1924). Three seasonal extremes can be distinguished: a cold, dry period from December through Februaryj a hot, dry period during April and Mayj and a wet season beginning in mid-June and lasting until September, during which violent storms and the only measurable precipitation during the year occur.
