[IYRPsupportgroup] Fwd: Pastoralist Map update: Which should be the 700th pastoralist group?

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear Paul
This is indeed impressive work!

After a very quick check I think I have a 700th already !
You mention "Dinka" in the write-up for the Atuot and Juri in Southern
Sudan, but you don't have an icon or specific description of them. At least
I was not able to find one. The icon should be placed in between the Nuer
and the Juri.  There are several Dinka groups and I am most familiar with
the Ngok Dinka with whom I spent  a year decades ago and can give you some
references.

best regards
