In the AfricanGreatLakes region, the clan is a unit of social organisation. It is the oldest societal structure in the region, other than family and direct lineage. The structure is found in modern day Rwanda , Burundi , Tanzania and Uganda . Etymology The term clan was first used in the nineteenth century by Europeans, due to the similarities to other clan systems found across the world. sfn Chr tien 2003 p 88 The people of the area use a variety of vernacular terms to describe the concept ubwoko in Rwanda, umuryango in Burundi, ruganda in the Bunyoro and Buhaya kingdoms, igise in Buha , ishanja in Buhavu and ebika in Buganda. sfn Chr tien 2003 p 89 Description Clan membership is a loose concept, with the correlation to lineage based more on oral tradition and personal belief than on concrete evidence. sfn Chr tien 2003 p 88 Clan members have dispersed over time, and are no longer associated with particular regions. sfn Chr tien 2003 p 88 Clans differ somewhat in their nature from country to country in Rwanda the clan is a very structured unit, with twenty in total, themselves divided into subclans.
