Les Ayt ‘Atta de Zouala du Rteb : processus de fixation au sol et droit coutumier (Sud-Est marocain)

This study aims to comprehend some dynamics of the setting process of the Ayt ‘Atta in the South-East Morocco. These dynamics and their sociocultural implications are interesting because this pastoral group has such a flexibility that it adapts to the most difficult circumstances, both political and environmental. We present some sections of the document concerning the customary law of the Izulayn of Zouala in the territory of Rteb. Our hypothesis is that the peculiarities of the customary law of the Ayt ‘Atta have contributed to the maintenance of tribal structures and traditions, at the same time they would have favored the evolution of the group’s settlement process.
