Waoporom walikuwa kabila la watu walioenea katika Kenya na Uganda ya leo kabla ya kuzidiwa na wavamizi wa makabila ya Kibantu, Kiniloti na mengineyo. Polepole walijichanganya nao hata kupotewa na lugha na utambulisho wao.

Walikuwa na ufundi mkubwa katika ufinyanzi[1].

  1. The first indication of the past existence of a people known as Oropom was through fieldwork done by J.G.Wilson in the mid-20th century. While resident in Karamoja region of Uganda, he came across widespread and abundant archaeological material including stone tools and pottery of a nature also found in Karasuk, Turkana and West Pokot districts in Kenya. Wilson noted that "the material collected, particularly the pottery, reflects such a high degree of skill and artistry in its manufacture, that it is obviously not connected with the much cruder pots of the present occupants of these areas". His supposition was confirmed by most residents who had no traditions indicating the manufacture of the items save for a few people who claimed to be descendants of a people known as Oropom. Cfr.
