You may also be looking for the abbreviation IK.
The Ik (also derogatorily called Teuso) are a tribe living in the mountains of northeastern Uganda, next to the larger Dodoth and Turkana, numbering a few thousand. They were expelled from their land to create a national park, and as a result of this suffered extreme famine; furthermore, their weakness relative to other tribes meant they were regularly raided. Colin Turnbull wrote an extremely disparaging anthropology book about them called The Mountain People. Their language, the Ik language , is of interest to linguists as a member of the highly divergent Kuliak subgroup of Nilo-Saharan.
