Origin & History
Kuchi,
an Afghan Persian word meaning those who go on migrations, Kuchis an
afghan word meaning those who go on migrations. Kuchis are Pashtun
nomads who maintain their traditional nomad lifestyle for more than 3000
years, Kuchis lost their flocks and livelihoods due to drought and war.
Most of the kuchi people had no choice but to make their homes in the
hot, unfamiliar plains of Iran and Pakistan.
Kuchi jewelry
originally came from the nomadic Pashtoon tribes that wandered the
border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, along ancient routes between
the seasons, moving down from the mountains in the winter and back to
their homes in the summer. The word Kuchi itself is derived from a
Persian word meaning migration, in relation to nomads or gypsies, and
does not describe a particular group or people, but rather a state of
being. Many different peoples or tribes from these areas have been
classified as Kuchi but the original migratory nomads of this area are
the Pashtoon. |
