Lamtuna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lamtuna are a Berber nomadic tribe of the Sahrawi people of Western Sahara. They claim descent from Himyar, one of the South Arabian eponyms. Genetic evidence suggests that beside their Berber origins they may be partially descended from Arab invaders [citation needed].
The Almoravids originated from this tribe.
