Shesh Boluki شش‌بلوکی

The Shesh Boluki are one of the main tribes of the Qashqai confederacy of Fars. Encyclopaedia Iranica's article on Iran's tribes names them among the six main tayefehs, or tribal divisions, into which the Qashqai's many earlier tribes were merged: the Amaleh, Darrehshuri, Farsimadan, Kashkuli Bozorg, Kashkuli Kuchek and Shesh Boluki.
