According to major Kuria clan tradition (including the Abanyabasi, Abatimbaru, Abanyamongo, Abakira, Abairegi, Abakenye, Abanchaari, and Abagumbe), their ancestor was Mokurya. His descendants migrated from Misiri, and after many years of wandering along Lake Victoria they reached present-day Bukurya. According to this tradition, the Kuria have been divided into two families: the Abasai (from Mokurya's elder wife) and the Abachuma, from his younger wife. </p><p>In another view of the name's origin, between 1774 and 1858 Kuria people lived on Korea Hill (north of the Mara River in the Musoma district of present-day Tanzania). The region's inhabitants became known as "Korea people" after the hill, which evolved into "Kuria Hill". During the colonial period, the Kenyan Kuria called themselves Abatende (after the Abatende clan in the Bugumbe region); the Tanzanian Kuria continued to be known by their <a href="/wiki/Totem" title="Totem">totems</a>. Around the 1950s, the name Kuria gained wide usage. Mijikenda, Abaluyia and Kalenjin also became generally accepted as ethnic names during the 1940s and 1950s, when they sought political recognition from Kenyan colonial authorities. </p><p>The Kuria people may not have a common origin, although a number of clans claim to have come from <a href="/wiki/History_of_Egypt" title="History of Egypt">Egypt</a>. Kurian culture is an amalgam of several heterogeneous cultures. Among the Kuria are people who were originally from the <a href="/wiki/Nandi%E2%80%93Markweta_languages" title="Nandi–Markweta languages">Kalenjin-</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maasai_language" title="Maasai language">Maasai-</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bantu_languages" title="Bantu languages">Bantu-</a> and Luo-speaking communities. Between AD 1400 and 1800, during migrations into Bukurya, the foundation was laid for Kuria cultural and political development. Early inhabitants of Bukurya were Bantu and Nilotic speakers, who brought their distinct cultures; the predominantly agricultural Bantu came into contact with Nilotic pastoralists. This combined agriculture and pastoralism, with nomadic tendencies. Kuria agriculture resembles that of the Abagusii and Luo, and their cattle-keeping has borrowed practices from the Maasai, Zanaki and Nguruimi. </p><p>Before the mass mobilization during the <a href="/wiki/Ugandan-Tanzanian_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Ugandan-Tanzanian War">Ugandan-Tanzanian War</a> (1978–1979), though the Kuria were only about 1% of Tanzania's population, they made up over 50% of its soldiers (then-President <a href="/wiki/Julius_Nyerere" title="Julius Nyerere">Julius Nyerere</a> was from that tribe). Following the power and plunder of war, their postwar return to comparatively humble civilian life—heavily armed—led to crime, inter-communal violence, and power shifts. In particular, it exacerbated the widespread, longstanding Kuria tradition of cattle thefts and raids, which, in modern times, has expanded into widespread, intense, organized and commercial criminal activity—and concurrent <a href="/wiki/Vigilante" class="mw-redirect" title="Vigilante">vigilantism</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-kuria_maasai_relations_2019_boke_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kuria_maasai_relations_2019_boke-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-kuria_cattle_raiders_2003_fleisher_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kuria_cattle_raiders_2003_fleisher-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-war_is_good_for_thieving_2000_fleisher_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-war_is_good_for_thieving_2000_fleisher-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-private_security_industry_in_tanzania_2011_shadrack_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-private_security_industry_in_tanzania_2011_shadrack-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The 2024 Kuria population was estimated at 1,500,00, with 608,000 living in Tanzania and 892,000 in Kenya.
