Mangur (tribe)

Mangur is one of the largest Kurdish tribes of Eastern Kurdistan.They live in the district and cities of Sardasht, Piranshahr to Mahabad.[1]

Mangur was one of the Kurdish tribes in the Bolbas Federation.[2] The others were: Mâmash, Pirân, Zerzâ, Herki and Shekâk.

Mangurs practice Matrilineality among most of their marriages however they tend not to marry too far away from their family or clan. Mangurs also have a stereotype of being "aggressive and traitorous" among many Kurds, Mangurs also generally don't practice the popular way of greeting among many Kurds called "Chak U Xoshi" meaning "The Good Greeting."[3]

History

During the Qajar period the Mangur feuded with their neighbours the Mâmash; while the latter were loyal to the Qajars the Mangur were regarded as rebels and brigands after supporting Sheikh Ubeydullah.[4][5] In 1908 they are recorded as consisting of 2,000 families, semi-nomadic, who spent the summer months at Wazna.[6]

In the winter of 1928-29 the Mangur, the Mâmash and other tribes rebelled against Reza Shah and occupied Sardasht though they lacked the forces to extend the revolt more widely.[4] [7] The Mangur were among the tribes hostile to the Soviet-backed Republic of Mahabad in 1946. [8]
