Country Info Liberia Introduction Liberia General Data Liberia Maps Liberia Culture ... Liberia Time and Date Liberia Culture Back to Top orthodox and Western lifestyles coexist; orthodox values, customs, and norms determine the Western type considerably. In cities both Western and African music and dancing styles are in vogue, but in rural areas orthodox rhythms are favoured. Schools instruct students in the legends, traditions, songs, arts, and crafts of African culture, and the government promotes African culture through such agencies as the National Museum in Monrovia, the Tubman Center for African Culture in Robertsport, and the National Cultural Center in Kendeja, which exhibits architecture of the 16 ethnic groups of Liberia. Mask making is an artistic pursuit that is also related to the social structure of some ethnic groups. Music festivals, predominantly religious, are held in most communities. The University of Liberia has an arts and crafts centre. There are several libraries, including a children's library in Monrovia and a National Public Library. Football is the most popular sport. An intercounty football competition is held for the annual championship. The University of Liberia and Cuttington University College hold annual sports competitions.Monrovia has five daily newspapers, including the Daily Observer, the largest and most prestigious. A few magazines are published annually. Officially, there is press freedom, but newspapers are banned occasionally for violating government policies on information.

Tribes of Liberia
  • Background
Many consider the Gola to be earliest tribe to inhabit Liberia, but the Gola themselves claim they met the Dei ethnic group there when they arrived. The Dei ethnic group are a vanguard group of Bassa that settled Liberia in waves. The ethnic groups of Liberia can be divided into five major groups:
  • Mel (Gola, Kissi) Kwa (Dei, Bassa, Kru, Krahn, Grebo) Mande-Fu (Kpelle, Gio, Mano, Loma) Mande-Tan (Vai, Mende, Mandingo) Repatriated (Americo-Liberians, Congo, Caribbean)

The history of most of these ethnic groups spans over thousands of years.
The Dei would settle first and would later be joined by the Gola ethinc group before any of the other Bassa groups arrived. The Gola ethnic group originated somewhere in Central-Africa. During the Empire of Ancient Ghana they were heavily involved in the land-surveying and judicial aspects of the empire. The other ethnic groups that fall under the Mande-Tan, Mande-Fu were also members of Ancient Ghana. Because of the their influence in the judicial aspects of the Ghana, the Gola's social structure dominated through the Poro. With the influx of Islam many groups adopted while others resisted. The Golas fought three wars with pro-Islamic elements in a changing Ghana. These wars were known as the Kumba wars. The Golas lost the third of these wars and were forced to retreat toward, Sierra Leone. They were pursued by the Mende, Gbandi and Loma. Their battles with the Mende in Sierra Leone forced them to retreat yet again and settle finally in Liberia where they encountered the Dei.

      History
      Settlers from America
      The history of Liberia as a political entity begins with the arrival of the black American settlers — the Americo-Liberians, as they were to be known — who established a colony of “free men of color” on its shore in 1822 under the auspices of the American Colonization Society. The historical roots from which a majority present-day Liberians derive their identity, however, are found in the varied traditions of the several tribal groups of indigenous Africans whom the settlers confronted in their struggle to gain a foothold in Africa and, later, extend their control into the interior.

    Monrovia Culture. Liberia, its name derived from the Latin liber, meaning free, was As a result, Liberia was heavily influenced by American culture.
    http://www.africatravelling.net/liberia/monrovia/monrovia_culture.htm
    Monrovia - Culture Liberia, its name derived from the Latin liber, meaning "free," was founded by freed American slaves in the early nineteenth century. The most important city is Monrovia and was named in honour of President Monroe, who held office at the time the Republic was officially established. Red, white, and blue mailboxes, American currency, and the widespread use of English bespeak the American influence, and it is not unlike visiting part of the U.S. in the summertime. As a political nation, Liberia was founded by the American Colonization Society in an attempt to return freed slaves to Africa. Motives behind the society ranged from getting rid of "the negro problem" in America, to spreading religions, to sincerely returning blacks back to their native land. As a result, Liberia was heavily influenced by American culture. As you can see, the Liberian flag is very similar to the American flag. The capital city, Monrovia, was named after the fifth American President James Monroe who was a major supporter of the society. Even the Monrovia City police uniforms were modelled after ones used by the NYPD. Now Liberia is a mix of Liberians with a background in America, Americo-Liberians, and other peoples composing of many different tribal/kinship groups. Liberia has been disrupted by war that has lasted for about six years now. Many of these children were forced to become soldiers by combatants desperate for able bodies of any age to augment their ranks. Others volunteered, believing that joining a military faction was their best chance for survival, but rarely understanding the full consequences of their decision. Some became practiced killers, and most were exposed to atrocities on a daily basis, often encouraged to take part.

These tribes fall into three main groupings: the Kru group, who have a seafaring tradition; the Mande-speaking group, who have a rich and influential reservoir of tribal traditions; and a third grouping with a farming tradition. Modern Liberia came into existence as a result of negotiations conducted between local rulers and the representatives of settlers from the USA, mostly freed black slaves who were encouraged to resettle in the lands of their forebears and were aided by various philanthropic organizations in the USA. They controlled Liberia almost exclusively for more than 100 years from the early 19th century. Sierra Leone section).
