They are part of the larger Nuer ethnic group, which is one of the largest in South Sudan. The Rae People are known for their distinct cultural practices, language, and social structures. Their traditional society is organized into clans, each with its own leadership and customs. The Rae People have a rich oral tradition, with storytelling and poetry playing a significant role in their culture. They are also known for their agricultural practices, particularly their cultivation of millet and sorghum, which are staple foods in their diet. The Rae People have a matrilineal system, where inheritance and social status are traced through the mother's line. This system has influenced their social dynamics and family structures.

Their resilience and cultural richness make them an important part of South Sudan's diverse ethnic landscape.
