Hausa people
Yauri's ethnic groups include the Shangawa, (literally, the people of Shanga), the Gungawa, (literally, the people of the islands; also known as the Geshe), the Dukawa, Kamberi, Hausa people, Nupe, Yorubawa and Kanuri. However, the predominance of Hausa's in the socio-political structure of northern Nigeria has gradually increased the transformation of some of the dominant ethnic groups in Yauri to become Hausanized. Today, the Hausa people constitute the governing class of Yauri.
