The area traditionally known as Owamboland is situated in the far north of the country between the Etosha National Park and the Angolan border is home to the Owambo. The Owambo tribes belong to the south-western Bantu group, but are culturally closely related to the matrilineal agriculturalists of Central Africa. The rule of descent reckoning followed by the Owambo is basically matrilineal. Kinship is determined through the mother, and consequently children are affiliated to the lineage and clan of their mother only. The Owambo practice agriculture as well as cattle herding. The staple food of the people is finger millet, which is used for making porridge and for brewing beer.
