The Ik (sometimes called Teuso) are an ethnic group numbering a few thousand people living in the mountains of northeastern Uganda near the border with Kenya, next to the more populous Dodoth and Turkana peoples.
The Ik were displaced from their land to create a national park and consequently suffered extreme famine. Also, their weakness relative to other tribes meant they were regularly raided. The Ik are subsistence farmers who grind their own grain.
