  1. The interpreter said that 1200 Euros were collected and 800 more were needed.I knew that this was incorrect because 1200 Euros plus another eight hundred euros would be two thousand Euros and I can look at the people and see that they're dirt poor. two thousand Euros would be a vast amount of money in their village, 255 Zambian kwachas only equals $14.14

  2. Traveling to a different continent made me realize how nice and caring our African traditions are. We are so warm, loving, and welcoming yet we usually only get hate from the rest of the world💔 People out here are so cold and only care about themselves

  3. I m a dance anthropologist. I went to east Kenya in 2005 and was saddened by the materialism that has destroyed their cultural heritage. There are so many intricate cultural systems which deforestation and western greed is destroying. I wanted to do visual anthropology but I didn’t t like the prof who said …..’oh but they don’t have individual identities and gender as we do here’. I learn t from my dance anthropology prof that we observe and ethnographically document the customs and practices of intangible cultures without judgement. What is normal to Eurocentric people is not practiced in subsistence groups. So we let big supermarkets sell poisoned food with chemicals and spray our fields with chemicals and como,sin about African and other cultures. For me the dancing is the best with the hip twisting and gyrating…..I love that movement and the feet also twisting. I see the dance.

  4. This culture of the masquerade, the makishi, resembles the culture of the Mandinke people of Guinea very closely. Even the music, the drums look and are played like the djembe. What's the relationship between the Lukale and the Mandinka of West Africa?

  5. Popes you name these today's evil so call elders we entrusted to teach our little young boys and girls. Next thing is head line news. Shame and disgrace from what shocking news you will be destroyed by the Satan stories on all those high quality elders you entrusted in the name of all the white slave master religion and way the history of pettaiphilia. In fact every single western white slave master elders has failed our young people. Now look at what they want to feed the children in the western school. In this rich society. Now we look to the evil western world to define our Civilization. When there very culture is about barbarism and intellectual smart and clever wickedness to the innocent venerable. The target Africans children now are sold in slavery and for rich people for their body parts, sounds crazy and strange. Sorry respectfully love you and your own self Africa and our ancient history strictly culture. Its defines and bond us with the creator of the past. One love one African continent. The evolution of the African continent and culture traditions and spirituality it important principles are still the same because we are living in a slightly different time. Which is still constant. Peace and love happiness and confidence in you as your own self a representative of the God's of the life source everything

  6. The ancient African ancestoral system is the most important thing in every sense of any unique people black people ⚫️ we're so happy when we obey collectively independently unapologetic the first way of all our ancient ancestors generations up to this very day. We need to wakeup and decolonize our minds bodies and spiritual traditions souls. Western religion and religious practices has nothing to do with Africa humanity. The fact are we black African people took care of the whole world and everything inside of the world 🌎 in return respectfully it took care of us. Now we believe in religion and all these religious ideology and intellectual influences that took us from ourselves. Our own African self respect dignify for the our beautiful beloved African elders. They love us and we had real respect and trust for them. Not like these paster, Emam

  7. When I watch these documentaries about people who live mostly off of the land I can never figure out why there are always some BIG women regardless of how scant the diet appears to be. I don’t mean anything negative by this it just seems like there’s something our modern science/medicine isn’t telling us about womens bodies/health. I’ve noticed this even in documentaries of aboriginal people in Australia and the americas too. Even in India there are some big women in the poorest villages where they have so little. Why is this?
