Tatur, also known as Tator or Tatoor, is a small Pashtun tribe among the larger Lodi/Lohani tribe located in Tank District of Pakistan.[1][2][3] Like other Lodi tribes, Tatur were originally present in the Paktika Province of present-day Afghanistan, specifically the Katawaz area in Khairkot District before settling in the Gomal plains of present-day Tank District during the late 1500s, moving into the region through the Gomal Pass.[2][3][4]
