Laki Communities and Their Neighbors

Laki communities live high up in the Zargos mountains.Not many other tribes live in this region of Iran due to the control over most of the mountainsides by the Laki community.  They grow their own crops and raise their own livestock in order to feed their families and trade with other local neighboring Laki communities.  They migrate with their livestock between summer and winter pastures allowing them to survive off the land and protect their livestock all year round.  Not much traffic is done by the Laki people out of the mountainsides.
