village on flat rocky shelf overlooking sandy plains and valley; has unique, highly divergent Jamsay dialect with much Nanga influence (intermarriage with Anda and Wakara still common); paired with Wakara in ethnohistory of origin (two brothers who split up); one neighborhood with about 1/4 of village is occupied by a caste of indigo dye-ers who speak standard Jamsay; millet fields are in plains below and some on shelf; cattle festival around early December, goat festival around June; less rigorously Islamic than nearby Beni
