 MEN AND WOMEN OF THE TSUO GROUP 



This tribe has a unique organization. All the land is owned by one clan, the Hyofupa, 

 to whom every tribesman gives a tithe of his annual harvest. A public council hall, called 

 the Kutsuba, is used as a lodging place for all unmarried youths more than 12 years of age. 

 These boys are subjected to Spartan hardships in training to foster discipline, courage, and 

 virtue.
