A COMPARATIVE STUDY of THE KUKU CULTURE and THE HEBREW CULTURE: M.M.NINAN _________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Spirits of the mountains. Mountains are also attributed to certain spirits and some of them are very powerful. There are four such mountains in Kuku land. They are Jale, Nyiri, Kimu and Keleke. During the time of the reign of Chief Yengi of Kajo-Keji, there was a clan called Koturume who were living near the mountain Jale. They wire rich in cattle and worshipped the god of Jale.. During the time of releasing the cows to graze, Jale also sent his children with their cows. These children of Jale are like men with well formed nose and mouth and beautiful faces. But their back side was empty and they had no intestines. These children used to play together until evening when they separated and went home each with their cattle. Jale has many things in. common with Gbiri in character. So the hunting men and women who goes to collect soft broom from this mountain usually controls their tongues even in these days. This great hill lies in the boarder between Uganda and Sudan. There is also an interesting story of an encounter between Christians and Jale. Across the hill Jale are the Media of Uganda. Early during the Christian missionary up thrust, some Christians decided to attack the mountain spirits of Jale. Taking their drums and harps and flute they set off to the sacred groves in the mountain. However they were forced to retreat as an avalanche of stones and sticks and lashes met them. The spirits however were invisible. 21
