		Luhya myths of origin suggest a migration into their present-day locations from the north: virtually all sub-tribes claim to have migrated first south from Misri (Egypt), before settling in what is now Central Uganda.
		Luhya people usually identified with a clan: this was a grouping of people with a common ancestry (usually up to about 3 or 4 generations).
		With the adoption of a modern, town-based lifestyle by many Luhya people, the concept of the clan is dying out among most sub-tribes (with the notable exception of the Bukusu, among whom tradition is revered and is still alive).

	The Luhya of Kenya
		The Luhya (or Baluyia as they call themselves) tribal homeland is located in western Kenya north of Lake Victoria from Kisumu to Webuye going north and south, and from Kapsabet on the east to the Uganda border on the west.
		Despite the tradition of origin in "Egypt," the Luhya culture and language show relationship to the Ganda and similar Bantu in Uganda, whose traditions indicate they came from central Africa.
		Many Luhya are church memebrs, but it does not seem to make a great difference in their lives.

	Luhya
		Luhya migration into the Rift Valley is relatively recent, only dating back to the first few years after independence in 1963, when farms formerly occupied by colonial white settlers were bought by, or given back to, indigenous (native) Africans.
		Roads in the rural hinterland are not paved and tend to be impassable during heavy rains.
		The Luhya are nationally renowned for their energetic and vibrant isukuti dance, a celebratory performance involving rapid squatting and rising accompanied by thunderous, rhythmic drumbeats.

	Kibisu-Kabatesi on "Luyhia unity" \| Mashada Forums
		The whole point in the grandiose call for Luhya unity is therefore to gerrymander the region in splintered political party enclaves for vote fishing.
		The Luhya’s already realise their strength, they are a force to reckon with and must not allow leaders from other regions to dictate there leaders.
		For the last few weeks, members of the Luhya community have been involved in a land-mark project whose objective is to unite and move as a single ethnic bloc.
