The Zhane[1] were one of the twelve major Circassian tribes, representing one of the twelve stars on the green-and-gold Circassian flag.[2] They lived in the Zhane Principality of Circassia.
History
[edit]The Zhane were a very powerful Circassian tribe in the past.[3] They lived the north of the Natukhaj tribe's land on the coast of the Black Sea and Azov Sea in Eastern Europe. A map of the 17th century also shows they lived right by the coast of the lower flow of Kubans, beyond Taman and Atchu. As a result of the bloody Russian–Circassian War and the subsequent genocide, the Zhaney tribe was almost wholly destroyed, as only 3 families survived.[4]
