Al-Mutairi (
Genealogy
John Gordon Lorimer (1870–1914), an official of the Indian Civil Service and other historians of Al-Mutairi noted that the main branches of Al-Mutairi today are Banu Abdullah, Al-'Ulwa (also spelled 'Llwah), and Braih.[4][5] DNA tests for samples taken by male participants belonging to Al-Mutairi Tribe has confirmed that they are sharing the same haplogroup, and a common ancestor. Various published studies has referred to results from Al-Mutair Tribe and stated that most of Y-Chromosome Lineage is from the J1 Haplogroup network.[6] Members of Mutair tribe are considered to be one of the first among Arabian tribes to utilize genetic genealogy to study the genealogy of Mutair using most modern and recent technologies. Results of participants are published publicly in a dedicated website named MutirDNA.com and also on a public project in FamilyTreeDNA

History
Mutayr's original homelands were the highlands of northern
'Utaybah
, who had just moved into central Arabia from Hejaz.
Because Mutayr were the dominant nomadic tribe of Al-Qaseem, which was the main bone of contention between the clans of
Dahna desert
.
In 1920 Al-Dewish led an attack by the Ikhwan on
al-Jahra, and were compelled to withdraw once and for all under British pressure. Later, a Mutayri contingent, led by Al-Dewish, joined with other sections of the Ikhwan in the conquest of the Hejaz on behalf of Ibn Saud in 1924. Thereafter, a number of Ikhwan leaders from different tribes, led by Al-Dewish, led a rebellion against Ibn Saud. The Ikhwan sought to take over the newly conquered provinces for themselves and claimed that Ibn Saud had abandoned the true faith by refraining from attacking the European-ruled territories of Iraq and Syria. Ibn Saud, however, defeated the rebels at the Battle of Sabilla
in northeastern Nejd, and Al-Dewish sought with the British in Iraq. The British, however, handed him over to Ibn Saud. Al-Dewish was put in prison, and died not long afterwards.
The tribe has historically been mostly bedouin, with only a few representatives among the settled families of Arabia at the turn of the 20th century. Today, however, nearly all members of the tribe are settled in the cities and towns of Saudi Arabia, making up to 400 villages across the country and especially Riyadh, Medina and central region of the country. A large section of the tribe also settled in Iraq and Kuwait.
