This study examines the origins, migration, and settlement of the Shora (Şore) people, a Kurdish tribal community currently located in the Haji Omeran subdistrict of Choman, Erbil Province, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Based on oral tradition, regional tribal history, and archival records, the Shora people are traced to their roots in Şemzinan (Şemdinli, Hakkâri) and identified as a branch of the Herki (Herkî) tribal confederation, specifically the Salaranî Herki (Yaylapınar, Şemdinli). Their migration to the slopes of Mount Halgurd between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries reflects broader patterns of Kurdish tribal displacement under Ottoman imperial policies. This account situates the Shora people within the geopolitical, tribal, and cultural transformations of the Kurdistan region from 1700 to the present.
