Kel Gres

The Kel Gres is a confederation of Tuareg clans (or "Drum-groups"). In the modern era, they have mostly lived in south central Niger, though they are known to have inhabited the Aïr Mountains prior to the 17th century. As pastoralists, the Kel Gress also have a tradition seasonal transhumance cycle which takes them far from their more settled communities in the Zinder and Tahoua Regions.
