About

A clan represents a group of people who can trace their lineage to a common ancestor in some distant past. In the customs of Buganda, lineage is passed down along patrilineal lines.

The clan essentially forms a large extended family and all members of a given clan regard each other as brothers and sisters regardless of how far removed from one another in terms of actual blood ties.

Normally a clan is associated with an Animal, Bird, Plant or other Symbol. The Clans are subdivided into small cultural and administrative units with the Kabaka as the head.

The Enseenene clan is one of the Original Clans in Buganda and was around before the coming of Ssekabaka Kintu, it has existed for over 700 years (it is now 2021)

Its cultural headquarters are in Nsisi Busujju County where the Clan head who carries a title of Omutaka Kalibbala e Nsisi, resides.

The administrative Office of the clan is situated in Rubaga division, Kampala District in Uganda.

The Clan Totem is ENSEENENE (Copiphorini or Grasshopper) with a sub totem ( Akabiro ) called Nabbangogoma , an insect that also resembles a Grasshopper
