Their culture is dynamic and they hold clans in great regard. Some Aatharaka are aware of legend Kibuka but others are ignorant about it. Currently, Tharaka people have cordial relationship with other Meru Sub-tribes. Modern political intrigues put aside, they relate with Chuka people as brothers. They believe they both were born of the same father but different mothers. The Chuka‟s mother was called Ciampandi and Tharaka mother was Ciangoi. Aatharaka are said to have blood relationship, “Giciaro” with the Muthambi community therefore are not supposed to intermarry. They also share some clans with the Imenti and Tigania peoples making them “blood” relatives but can marry.
