According to Spillmann, they are spread from the Ktaoua to the Todgha, via Fezwata, Taghbalt and the Boudib-Msissi area south of the Ougnat; some are also found at Ousikis, in the Rteb and as far as Tabelbalt. A legend collected in 1919 by Captain Noël traces their ancestor to an Alaouite descendant from the Tafilalet. Bound to the Aït Ounir by a tafergant pact, they protect the Aït Alouane, get on with the Aït Yazza and are hostile to the Aït Ouahlim, especially the Aït Hassou, as to the Aït Khebbach; in the Draa they took several qsour from the Aït Ouahlim. Their Aït Mchkoukod section, at Boudib and Msissi, has a policy of its own. In 1933, Aït Isfoul fought in the auxiliary harkas.
