Giogoto ("friend of the tribe" ^[1] or "enlightened, yet not of the blood"^[2] is a Vistani term for a giorgio whom has been recognized as a close ally or affiliate to the Vistani people. The Vistani do not cheat giogotos, and giogotos may seek shelter with the Vistani for a limited time.^[2] Depending upon the circumstances, such a person may be granted travel with the caravan.^[1]

Despite a giogoto's affinity for the tribe that "adopts" the individual, there is always a sense of distance as becoming a giogoto does not mean joining the tribe. The giogoto remains separated, tolerated but not allowed to partake of certain facets of Vistani life, such as certain Vistani-only rituals like the Lunaset.^[2]

This term can been applied to potentially full-blooded individuals whose full Vistani parentage is still somewhat in question.^[1] A Vistani who interacts with others from a different tasque is thought of as giogoto by those members of that different tasque.^[2] If a giorgio undergoes the vishnadd but is acquitted, the formerly accused is give giogoto status.^[3]
