Atta Nayeche is known as the mother of all the Ateker Communities that reside in Turkana, Uganda, South Sudan, and Ethiopia and share the same dialect and culture. The communities trace their origin to Turkana County where Nayeche lived before they split and relocated to various Countries after drought hit the region.
