1 continent a THOUSAND AND ONE CULTURES.

From the dramatic climate differences in each region in Africa, to the thousands of tribes. Africa is truly a unique place. all these cultures are what makes Africa the great nation it is today. this blog has been interesting for me to write I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. it has been a very long journey from the very first tribes that existed from the very beginning of evolution.

Africa has been through many struggles a lot of civil wars and colonization. but all these things are what molds Africa into what is. I mean if we look at where Africa is situated we can see that the different climatic zones are not there at random. They are there to help the country sustain itself I mean the luscious forest provides vegetation and shelter for animals and resources for improving infrastructure.

The purpose of me writing this blog was to show you readers that geography is interlinked with almost everything. Not only with the country Africa but for everything in the world geography tell us why and how things are the way they are. Whether it be human geography or physical geography. The geography is the study of the world and how certain things effect it.


I really hope you enjoyed reading throughout the whole journey.

THE ENDING OF THE BEGINNING



https://gardenofknowledgemalta.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/
The ending of the beginning, you're probably wondering what that means. The clue is all in the title throughout we've talked about the Bantu tribe and how their migration influenced many of Africa’s cultural practices. If we had time even looking into the African slave trade influenced culture but let’s be real here this isn’t a history class.  It’s time to look at the contemporary culture of Africa. How the past helped to influence the present. Why people dress a certain way. Why tribes practice certain culture. Believe it or not it’s all down to the last nitty gritty detail of the geography of Africa.


 


Now that I’ve finished rambling let’s get started. Contemporary culture in Africa is incredibly diverse with many languages ethnic groups living in the same communities. We know that they all ended up integrating due to the migrations throughout history. The majority of these groups combine traditional customs and beliefs with modern practices and conveniences. Three groups that practice this are the Maasai, Tuareg, and Bambuti.


 


The Massai peoples.


  • http://glamorouspath.com/wp-content
    Nomadic pastoralists, this means they move around looking for fresh green lands for their cattle to graze.
  • Migrate throughout East Africa and survive off the meat, blood, and milk of their cattle.
  • Famous for their striking red robes and rich traditional culture.
  • live in isolation in unpopulated wilderness areas  



The Tuareg.

  • Tuaregs are often called the “blue" men of the "Sahara” for the blue-coloured bubus that they wear.

  • pastoralist they move around in search of green pastures for their animals to graze on.
