Bindo

The Bindo people have homelands in western Nasaviland, yet scattered Bindo villages are common throughout Mafosaland, Sotocani, and the Pashele Coast, including a sizable population in Kealings City. The Bindo are cattle dealers and traders. Most are divided into numerous smaller clans.
Almost all Bindo are followers of Karaslaa, converted by Kaspari traders between. However, many see clan loyalty as being more important than the tenets of the Karaslaa faith. Many practice polygamy, marrying up to four wives in accordance
with the teachings of Karaslaa. In many ways they are closer to the Sibuari in their ways of life than when compared to other tribes of the Veldt. Because their sizable population is spread over a vast area across the Veldt and because of their numerous clans, there are many dialects of the Bindo language. 
Bindo people are considered to be among the most beautiful people in the world, with aquiline features and ebony skin. Clothing traditionally consists of long flowing robes. Culturally, Bindo are quiet and dignified, and tend to ignore strangers. The Bindo are a nomadic, pastoral people with a culture centered on camels; some clans raising cattle and goats in more productive areas. Women and young children care for sheep and goats and are responsible for maintaining huts, while the young men and boys are responsible for herding their highly esteemed camels. Grey donkeys are considered a secondary pack animal.
Diet consists almost entirely of milk and milk products, supplemented by maize and rice. Families live in portable huts fashioned from bent saplings and woven mats. Village huts are commonly arranged in a circle with cattle pens in the center. Culturally the Bindo teach oral history in the form of poems, chanting folk tales to entertain themselves on long treks through the night from one settlement to the next.
The Bindo are favored by colonists as house servants, foot soldiers, and as native leaders hired for expeditions headed for the interior. As a result many Bindo communities perch on the edge of colonial settlements.
