Main NUDP Members Accuse President Of Mismanagement
Fon Doh's Indictment, Metaphor Of Eroded Traditional Authority
By Canute Tangwa
Traditional authority in Cameroon and elsewhere is shrouded in myths. The Fon, Chief or King never dies. He disappears! A Fon eating in public is as rare as the tear of a dog. Shaking hands with the Fon in public is an abomination, to say the least. This explains why Fon Achirimbi of Bafut allegedly had reservations shaking hands with a female British royalty!

(Formerly Da·ho·mey də-hō mē, d¤-´-mā )) A country of western Africa. Originally made up of several ancient kingdoms colonized by France in the 19th century, it became independent in 1960 and was renamed Benin in 1975.

Porto-Novo is the capital and Cotonou is the largest city and chief port. Other principal towns include Abomey Ouidah , and Parakou Land and People Benin falls into four main geographic regions. In the south is a narrow coastal zone (1–3 mi/1.6–4.8 km wide) fringed on the north by a series of interconnected lagoons and lakes with only two outlets to the sea (at Grand-Popo and Cotonou). Behind the coastal region is a generally flat area of fertile clay soils; this is crossed by the wide Lama marsh, through which flows the Ou©m© River. In NW Benin is a region of forested mountains (the Atacora; highest point c.2,150 ft/655 m), from which the Mekrou and Pendjari rivers flow NE to the Niger River (which forms part of the country's northern border). In the northeast is a highland region covered mostly with savanna and containing little fertile soil.

Chapter 27 Outline
Africa and the Africans in the Age of Atlantic Slave Trade
  • Introduction
    • With the rise of the West, the traditional alignment of Africa with the Islamic world was altered. External influences exerted both by the West and by Islam accelerated political change and introduced substantial social reorganization. After 1450, much of Africa was brought into the world trade system, often through involvement in the slave trade. Through the institution of slavery, African culture was transferred to the New World, where it became part of a new social amalgam. Involvement in the slave trade was not the only influence on Africa in this period. East Africa remained part of the Islamic trade system, and the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia continued its independent existence. In some parts of Africa, states formed into larger kingdoms without outside influence.
  • The Atlantic Slave Trade
    Introduction
    • Along the Atlantic coast of Africa, the Portuguese established trade forts and trading posts, the most important of which was El Mina. Forts normally existed with the consent of local rulers, who benefited from European trade. The initial Portuguese ports were located in the gold- producing region, where the Europeans penetrated already extant African trade routes. From the coast, Portuguese traders slowly penetrated inland to establish new trade links. In addition to trade, the Portuguese brought missionaries, who attempted to convert the royal families of Benin, Kongo, and other coastal kingdoms. Only in Kongo, where Nzinga Mvemba accepted conversion, did the missionaries enjoy success.

    STUDENTS RESEARCH INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE When Mike Warren was a Peace Corps science teacher in Techiman, Ghana, (Ghana 64-66), he met Mary Salawuh, a long-distance trader based in Techiman.  Mary is a Yoruba born in Cape Coast, Ghana.  Her mother hailed from Ibadan and her father from Ara near Oshogbo.  Going home often with her parents to Nigeria, she is equally at home in both countries. The Warrens married in 1965 and proceeded to Indiana University where Mike worked on his PhD in Anthropology.  After being hired at Iowa State University in 1972, he and Mary began training students for summer and sometimes Christmas trips to West Africa, always including Nigeria in the tour.  They have taught both Yoruba and Hausa at ISU and have now taken more than 200 students to Africa.  For the past two summers, they have taken groups of minority students (African American, Native American, and Hispanic American.)  Invariably, the students have fallen in love with Nigeria and Nigerians.  Two of the outstanding African-American students have conducted thesis research and gotten along so well they were installed as chiefs in Ara.  Quite a number have acquired plots of land in Ara where they intend to build houses.

    A brief background and history of African Music Music and Dance Dance, music, and story-telling are among the ancient art forms that have flourished for many centuries in Africa. Music and dance are terms that we will use to denote musical practices of African people. Ancient African society did not separate their every day life activities from their music and other cultural experience. Stone (1998) attests to the difficulty of separating music from the cultural context as she says: Oral traditions African people traditionally and in the modern day have a rich oral tradition that insures the passage of cultural practices from one generation to another. Scholars such as Malmusi, 1990; Rycroft,1962, Stone,1982 argue that oral literature and music are intimately connected in most parts of Africa and are often impossible to separate (Shelemany in Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicans , 2001). Listening has been an important skill that has been perfected by oral traditional practices. A number of African musical songs and dances were and are still transmitted from one generation or group to another by word of mouth.

    Tuesday, February 17, 2004 After a morning of further preparations for the delivery of the community messages at the dinner on Thursday, Marcelino Apuran spoke representing Capitania del Alto y Bajo Izozog (CABI) in Boliva. CABI is an organization that represents the indigenous Izoceno-Guarani people. Their work includes securing land rights and creating a National Park and Integrated Management Area. The last community presentation of the day was by Assane Seiny and Moustapha Maman who are here representing the Ecole Instrument de Paix in Niger. This NGO founded in the Niger River area has found a way to use water hyacinth compost and products to improve income and food security for three villages. The water hyacinth is naturally environmentally destructive as it doubles its population every 12 days. Once large mats of root develop other aquatic plants are crowded out, submerged plants are shaded and fish are starved of oxygen. Dialogue: National Delegates and Community Representatives Facilitators Jason Spensley and Ivy Wong opened the dialogue between country delegates and community participants. Chief Edwin Ogar gave a statement as a representative of Africa. He commented that the right to traditional knowledge is of primary concern and should be recognized by the government. Also, he noted that there is little government support and called for greater information sharing.

    Conclusion.
    Introduction: Ethnoarchaeology is the study of living societies in order to better understand the past. If we can learn the cultural dynamics of an existing culture, we may have more tools to interpret what we find in the archaeological record. Ethnoarchaeology often focuses particularly on the behaviour patterns responsible for creating physical objects and their spatial distribution. Material culture a reflection of our culture through the material goods we leave behind. For example if you look inside your house and imagine everything that would survive in the ground for a thousand years you soon realize that only non-organic, hard things would make it. Think again what this would tell people about how you live your everyday life, how you think, how you act, how you dress etc. It wouldn't tell them a lot, would it? You can now see one of the hardest parts of archaeology...using the leftovers to understand the complete culture! This study, using the ethnoarchaeological approach, is useful for helping archaeologists in West Africa to understand what they find in an excavation. The reason I chose to do this particular study is personal. My husband is from Cameroon and we were lucky enough to have identical twin boys.
