Represent your Tribe!

Liberia has a quite different cultural scenario than our Anglo neighbors like Ghana and Nigeria, who really do not intermarry. We do, and that's what makes us unique and beautiful on top of being colonized by former black slaves from the US and Carribean. So I ask the question what is your tribal/ethnic background?

I'll start, I'm half Fula
1/4 Bassa
1/8 Kpelle
1/8 Gola

To set the record straight, we were never Colonized by western or easter powers. However the ACS negotiated with natives in 1822 to resettle free slaves from America. The Grain Coast were already inhabited before the advent of the ACS and the free slaves.

With respect to my tribal background, i am half Kru and half Bassa. History tells me that my paternal great grand father migrated from the Sudan as a result of the fall of Sudanese Empire and that my maternal great grand father was a free slave who settle along the Bassa Cove.

i see why u frisky..da dey bassa blood bellah..we were colonized by an NGO-ACS. their supporters-the USG. all that talk about not being colonized...

just cuz were weren't branded colonized doesn't mean the practice still didn't go on there...
