Little documented in the sources read. Beaurpère describes their unwalled qsar near Achdad, on the right bank of the Todgha, fed by a spring from the Saghro. Spillmann connects their name with that of the Gnawa and infers a sub-Saharan origin: this is a conjecture about the name, not proof. In the “thirds” of the Aït Ouahlim, they are associated with the Ilemchan. In 1933, Ignaouen were among the families who took refuge in the Saghro.
