The '''Qashqai''' are a large and important tribe living in southwestern Iran along the Zagros Mountains mostly in the '''Fars''' and '''Khuzestan''' Provinces. Much of the Qashqai tribe has settled ir cities, towns, and villages, though some still live as seminomads, moving in summer to the highlands and returning in winter to the valleys because of the climate. The Qashqai raise farm animals for a living.<br>

In the beginning of the second millennium, the Qashqai tribe moved from northern Persia to the Fars region in the south. The tribe has spoken a Turkic dialect for centuries, up to the present day. The Qashqai tribe is divided by location into many subtribes, notably the Baseri, Bolli, Darreh-Shuri, Farsimadan, KASHKULI, Safi-Khani, SHEKARLU, and Shishbuluki, all of whom make Qashqai rugs. The weaving subtribes that are most well known are the Kashkuli and Shekarlu, who have mostly settled in towns and villages such as Farashid, Firuzabad, and Kazerun, in the Fars Province. Qashqai rugs are known in the antique market from the mid-nineteenth century.<br>
