With the Ilemchan, they dominate the central Saghro and have large interests in the Todgha; a large part still lived as nomads around 1930, with storehouse qsour (Spillmann). Their wars with the Aït Yazza long gave the whole Aït Atta country something to talk about. They were part of the core of the defenders of the Bou Gafer in 1933; it was with them that a Native Affairs officer made the decisive contact, through their relatives of Fezwata and the chaouch Hamida, on the eve of the negotiations of 24 March. A family tradition published in 2023 attributes Bournazel's death to one of their fighters.
