Piperi Clan

Piperi Clan

Piperi (Serbian Cyrillic: Пипери) is one of seven traditional Highland tribes (demonym: Brđani, meaning "highlanders", from Brda) and a sub-region of northeastern Montenegro, spanning a region between the Morača and Zeta rivers, reaching the northern suburbs of the Montenegrin capital Podgorica. The Piperi is regarded one of the most bellicose tribes during the wars with the Ottoman Empire, in the history of Montenegro. The tribe is the most widespread, as families hailing from Piperi exist in all former Yugoslav republics, especially in Serbia.

Famous quotes containing the word clan:

    We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.
    Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
