History
The Jopadhola arrived in southeastern
Uganda in the 16th century during the long
journey Luo migration from Egypt. They
first settled in central Uganda, but
gradually moved southwards and
eastwards. Their kin who settled northern
and central Uganda are Acholi and Alur
populations, who speak languages similar
to Dhopadhola. They settled in a forested
area as a defence against attacks from
Bantu neighbours who had already settled
there.[3] Unlike some other small Luo
tribes, this self-imposed isolation helped
them to maintain their language and
culture amidst Bantu and Ateker
communities.[9][10]
