Songhai Empire What do the people think about art What are their beliefs What are some masking trends today? Today, most of the population of Mali (estimated at 10,878,000 in 1995) is African. The major groups are the Bambara (the linguistic name for the Bamana and Bamakan people), Fulani (the English name for the Fulfulde or Peul groups), Soninka (which includes the Marka), Senoufo (the linguistic name for groups also referred to as "Senufo"), Songhai, Maninke (includes the Malinka and the Maninka), and the Dogon. Nomadic Tuaregs and other Berbers roam the Sahel and parts of the Sahara. In all, there are thirty-two languages listed for Mali, but French is the official language and Bambara is widely used. The Bambara are the largest cultural segment, but the Dogon (roughly 5% of the population) are world-renowned for their artwork and dance festivals (Grimes 1996; "Mali, Republic" 1998). The influence of the Bambara extends far beyond the areas that they inhabit. Art historians often include in discussion of the Bambara style the works of the Khassonke (of the Kassonke linguistic group- about 1% of the population of Mali), Malinke, Marka (of the Soninke group) and Minianka (the Minianka are of the Senoufo Mamara). Different variants of style cannot be easily identified from pieces that have been collected (Luezinger 1960, p. 76). While there are some distinctive differences, their sculpture was all in the hands of the Nuni (today called

The Bamana In the Mopti and San district, the Bamana carve and costume marionettes used in performances of burlesque and comedies. What may at one time have been sacred rites, have now been turned into comic performances (Leuzinger 1960, p. 77) Older Bamana puppets feature a crudely sculpted face with sharply defined nose; moveable arms and legs are lifted sideways on strings. The clothes are mostly rags or cloaks made of twisted fiber (Wassing 1968, p 221-222). Neighboring Marka marionettes have heads reminiscent of the sheet metal decorated initiation masks. A quite remarkable Pelican puppet of the Bozo people can be found in the Girard Collection at the Museum of International Folk Art (Glassie 1989, p249). Used for the Pelican dance, the brightly painted wood and cloth puppet borrows elements from the famed chi wara headdress of their neighbors, the Bamana. Since the Bozo are all Muslims, this puppet and dance has no religious significance to them. From the appearance, it represents the male buck

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... BURKINA FASO Most of Burkina's people are concentrated in the south and center of the country, sometimes exceeding 48 per square kilometer (125/sq. mi.). This population density, high for Africa, causes annual migrations of hundreds of thousands of Burkinabe to Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana for seasonal agricultural work. A plurality of Burkinabe adhere to traditional African religions. The introduction of Islam to Burkina Faso was initially resisted by the Mossi rulers. Christians, predominantly Catholics, are largely concentrated among the urban elite. POPULATION GRAPH Population: note: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2002 est.) Age structure: 0-14 years: 47.3% (male 3,007,675; female 2,960,697)

Names Ganja (marijuana) -The herb of inspiration Table of Contents Rastafarianism Rasta Symbolism Essence of Rasta Rasta and Reggae Ganja (Marijuana) is considered the "wisdom weed" by Rastafarians, as its use helps one to gain wisdom. Rastafarians use it as a part of a religious rite and as a means of getting closer to their inner spiritual self, Jah (God) and Creation. Ganja is also seen by Rastafarians as the herb of life mentioned in the Bible. Rastafarians use of ganja is justified by the following Psalms 104:14 that says, "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth." Rastafarians also say it was found growing at the grave of King Solomon in the Bible. Rastafarian consume it through smoking and eating (not recomended). The smoking of Ganja is a part of a religious ritual. When there is a large "reasoning" gathering of Rastafarians, a Chalice, which is a large smoking pipe, may be passed around and smoked. This is similar to the passing around of a communion cup by some Christian denominations. These gatherings are also called Nyahbinghi (also the name of a Rastafarian sect:

Links Environmental action for change Introduction The National Botanical Institute in South Africa is a state-funded statutory organisation responsible for botanical gardens, herbaria, botanical research and environmental education programmes in five of the nine provinces of South Africa. In Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Outreach Greening Programme (part of NBI) was formally initiated in April 1997 with the appointment of Phumla Bobo-Mrubata as outreach horticulturist. The programme aims to empower the community with horticultural skills, to improve the quality of life and to conserve and promote the environment for the benefit of all communities in South Africa, through training and greening programmes. Previous attempts to support community greening had been ad hoc and not very effective. Responsibility for implementing the programme had fallen between two departments. The education department had excellent contact with schools but lacked the expertise or resources to establish gardens. The horticulture staff supported the need for outreach but had neither the time nor institutional support to participate. Thus support of school and community gardens was sporadic, lacking coordination, planning and evaluation, and tended to undermine rather than strengthen the relationship between the departments. Past programmes had been well meaning, but most had been "events" rather than processes, with little follow-up and support.
