== Culture ==
The Jiye are seasonal pastoralists that mainly raise cattle. Women and children generally live in settled villages while men leave the village for the season to feed the cattle on pastures. In the villages, women engage in farming and cultivate crops like cow peas, maize, millet, and tobacco. Cattle play a major role in Jiye culture and are incorporated into the religious system of the Jiye.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Olson|first1=James Stuart|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MdaAdBC-_S4C&dq=jiye+africa&pg=PA255|title=The Peoples of Africa: An Ethnohistorical Dictionary|last2=Meur|first2=Charles|date=1996|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-313-27918-8|pages=255|language=en}}</ref>
