28 Zeitschrift für Ethnologie 119 (1994) complaints about state activities and for implementing immediate remedy. The proceedings shall be rendered in a summary form and examples shall be described for various forms of such mutual instrumentalization. Some introductory notes on the Boran The Boran have a senior position among the various Oromo groups which is reflected in a number of traditions about representatives of other groups undertaking long journeys to be blessed by Boran main gaalu (often spelled gall) the ‘High Priests (Haberland 1963:151ff.) of which each of their exogamous moieties, Sabbo and Gona, have one. Being one of the least Christianized and Islamized Oromo groups, they have been taken as a model case for depicting the gada system (cf. above, note 1). Although originally they might have been mixed farmers (Haberland 1963:4), for several centuries they have predominantly practiced cattle nomadism, and only in recent times a tendency towards sedentarization and economic diversification has started to affect them again. They live on both sides of the Kenyan/Ethiopian boundary. The lands occupied by the Boran are arid in comparison to the Ethiopian highlands but well watered if compared to many parts of northern Kenya, where the warr dasse, the ‘people of the mats’ live, the camel nomads who have mat tents rather than the Boran style grass huts, man buyyo. Many of these warr dasse, originally speakers of Somali- like languages, have adopted Oromo speech and have until recently paid ritual tribute to the Boran gaalus (cf. Schlee 1989:37f., 119, 139-144), and therefore in the literature have been referred to as ‘vassals’ of the Boran (Haberland 1963:141). This far-reaching cultural influence of the Boran and the wide spread of linguistically related peoples inside and outside Ethiopia is a result of the Oromo expansion which started in the 16th century. The traditional system of government of the Boran is decentralized. The political leaders are elected, although from certain lineages, while the offices of the ritual leaders are hereditary. In addition to the two high gaalus mentioned — one from the Oditu clan of the Gona moiety, the other one from Karrayyu in the Sabbo moiety — there are three minor gaalu from the Matt'arri clan in the Sabbo moiety. The Boran say Sabbo sadeen, Gona balla: Sabbo are three, Gona are numerous. This may be illustrated by a glance at the clan list (Fig. 1). The division of the many clans of Gona into subclans is not shown on the dia- gram, while the subdivisions of Sabbo are shown with more detail. The gada system, like other age-set systems, formalizes age grades through which corporate age-sets move together, formalized life phases, so to say. These are the childhood stages (Zaballe, gamme and door?) where children learn herding, are taught traditional lore and acquire other skills such as evaluating vegetation and managing livestock. The next stage is marked by circumcision, learning songs, games and exploring
