The peoples of Africa are often described in terms of their ethnic background or their languages. There are several thousand ethnic groups in Africa, ranging in physical stature from the short Pygmies to the tall Maasai, each with its own cultural traditions. Here are only a few of them.

Please note: Some of the peoples and associations presented here are so closely related that more than one topic heading may apply. For example, The Akan people are given a page of their own, yet the Asante ( Ashanti ) are also an Akan people, as are the Akuapem. So, a full search for the 'Akan' may involve looking at pages dedicated to sub-groups as well. Some sub-group pages may contain only a link or two, but they are still part of a much larger picture. You will find a similar relationship among some of other peoples listed here. This is a case where a little advanced knowledge of the subject may be an advantage when using these pages. |
Diamande People __ "Although there are few sources available on Diomande culture, much has been written about Dan peoples who live to the south of Diomande territory and share many cultural and artistic similarities. Oral traditions describe Diomande society of the 19th century as lacking any central governing power." You will find material relating to history, art, political structure, religion and more. - From University of Iowa - http://www.uiowa.edu/~africart/toc/people/Diomande.html
