The Kunara Khel or Kanera Khel are a Baloch tribe, sub tribe of Azam Khel clan, which is a major clan of Lashari tribe. Azam Khel and Kundo Khel had been migrated to Mianwali District after the Baloch civil war in Balochistan. They are a branch from the main Baluchi tribe. The Kunara tribe living in Punjab, Dera Ismail Khan, speak Siraiki as their first laungage.

The grandfather of Kanera tribe had got married from Jat tribe and his family refused to accept this marriage. So Kanera went to Jat tribe and take shelter there and used to live with them. The Kanera tribes were Jatt by profession (Jatt are the one who keep camels and goats), so these are the two reasons that some people considered Kanera from Jat tribe.

The Kanera Khel (clan) has sub-clans such as the Buqa, Dilay, Jamaal, Kalu, Belay, Sidiqu, Saleh, Golay, Rehman and Hazoor. Kanera tribe was using trade of camels for the source of income in the early days. They were purchasing camels from Baluchistan and were selling in KPK & Punjab.
