Tusken Raider

Tusken Raiders, less formally referred to as Sand People or simply as Tuskens, were a nomadic sentient species indigenous to the desert planet Tatooine, where they were often hostile to local settlers. Tusken children were called Uli-ah. The name of Tusken Raiders was acquired much later, due to a period of concerted attacks on the settlement called Fort Tusken around eight decades before 19 BBY.

One tribe captured the bounty hunter Boba Fett, but they accepted him into their tribe after he had proved his worth to them.
