Religion

Religion: It appears that Sattis, like other local tribes, had informal religious tendencies. They were mainly pagans who would bury their dead and build convents. They revered trees and still hold them sacred. It is a good practice at this time of environmental chaos. It is known that Sattis converted to Islam after meeting a saint. He is known as Berri Imam and buried in Islamabad.later the devote of huzrat buri imam name sia tika sarkar of kamra shrif tyied his level best to spead the teaching of islam Before converting to Islam and even to some accounts in far-flung areas in the regions, Sattis used to slaughter cows or goats take out its blood and ferment it which was locally known as ‘ghaber’ or curd. Then they would mix this curded blood with corn flour and serve it as a delicacy to their guests. Eating blood was prohibited in Islam and they gave up this practice couple generations ago. Today most Sattis are Hindus, Sikhs and Sunni Muslims although there are some Wahabis who have been mainly influenced by the Arabian culture.'
