BUSINESS TOURISM LIFESTYLE REBUILD ... HOME Cotton Tree becomes a cultural centre Freetown's giant cotton tree, national symbol of Sierra Leone and a landmark in the capital, is also the address of the National Museum which tells the story of the history and culture of the country - particularly the influence of the formidable Mandinka warrior kings. The story goes that the tree started life as a young sapling when settlers came to Freetown in 1787. Amongst the most interesting exhibits in the museum is a copy of the De Ruyter stone which, in 1948, was proclaimed one of Freetown.s oldest monuments. It is buried six inches under the ground just above the high water level at Jimmy market place. This was the spring known to all mariners as on of the best watering places of the west coast of Africa and is inscribed with the names of famous sailors. It has been uncovered and buried many times to protect it from vandalism until funds can be raised for a proper building to protect it. The language Althought English is the official language in Sierra Leone,each ethnic group in the interior has its own language named after the tribe; Mende, Temne, Limba, Sousou, Kono.

Country Info Sierra Leone Introduction Sierra Leone General Data Sierra Leone Maps Sierra Leone Culture ... Sierra Leone Time and Date Sierra Leone Culture Back to Top The most outstanding feature of the country's cultural life is its dancing. The Sierra Leone Dance Troupe is internationally known. The different communities of the nation have their own styles of costume and dance. In addition, certain closed societies, such as the Wunde, the Sande (Bundu), and the Gola, have characteristic ceremonial dances. A wide range of agility, gracefulness, and rhythm is displayed; in addition, there are elements of symbolism in most of the dances. Drums, wooden xylophones (called balaphones), and various stringed instruments provide the musical background. The carving of various wooden masks in human and animal figures for the dances is especially advanced in the southern region. The Sande mask worn on the head of the chief dancer during the ceremony attending the reappearance of the female initiates from their period of seclusion is perhaps the most well-known carved figure in Sierra Leonean art. It is a symmetrically stylized black head of an African woman with an elaborate plaited pyramidal coiffure adorned with various figures and with a facial expression of grave dignity and beauty. Ivory figures are characteristic of the Sherbro, Bullom, and Temne peoples of the coastal and northern regions. Fine examples of these figures, which were bought or commissioned by Portuguese traders during the 16th century, are still extant. There are also steatite human figures, sometimes distorted, called nomoli, or, in wooden form, pomtan (singular, pombo), which certainly date earlier than the 16th century and were used probably for ancestor worship or fertility rites. At present, they are used for ceremonies to ensure abundance of crops.

These are some kids that are at school working in a classroom Sierra Leone has a lot of different customs that they share with different countries. In an English law, an ancient rule of law for a particular locality, as opposed to the common law of the country. It has its origin in the Anglo-Saxon period, when local customs formed most laws affecting family rights, ownership and inheritance, contracts, and personal violence. The Norman conquerors granted the validity of customary law, adapting it to their feudal system. Since that time, a local custom outside of common law has been considered valid if it: (1) has been practiced peaceably and continuously from time immemorialÑin practice, as long as living testimony can recall; (2) is reasonable, certain, and obligatory; and (3) is confined to a specific locality. With the cultural uniformity of the modern age, custom as a force of law retains its validity, but in practice it has lost ground to common law. These are the main languages in Sierra Leone Krio, Mende, Temne, English, and the official language is English. Most of the people speak the English language though. A majority of the people in Sierra Leone also speak Krio. Not very many of the people speak these languages any more. These are the main religions Islam, Christianity. Aced with a collapse in its finances and criticism by donor countries, the government has launched a massive campaign against corruption in public finances. This is the president of Sierra Leone President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. He has achieved this has launched a war against corruption.

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by a church elder, began sitting in the country mid April. The second of such in Africa, it is expected to promote the healing of long lasting wounds created by extreme acts of violence on humanity a few years ago. Joyce Mulama, reports. Sample this: A woman with a child strapped on her back is ambushed by rebels. They grab the child, hit it several times against a tree, and throw it into a nearby bush. With the mother is her brother, who tries to intervene, but in retaliation, the rebels slit open his throat, tear off his body and reach for the heart. As if that is not enough, they order her to eat it raw or face death. When she resists, they take her into their camp and gang-rape her. Sounds like fiction, but such, and many more, were the atrocities committed on the innocent people of Sierra Leone, during a nine-year civil war that commenced in 1991.

In het noorden en oosten grenst het aan Guinee en in het zuidoosten aan Liberia. Er zijn drie belangrijke geografische regio's. De Sierra Leone Peninsula in het uiterste westen, voornamelijk bergeachtig, met toppen to ongeveer 2,900ft. Hier komt ook de naamgeving van het land vandaan: Pedro de Cintra (Portuguees ontdekkingsreiziger - 1462) noemde het Sierra Leone (het Leeuwen Gebergte). Het westelijke deel van het land, zonder de Peninsula, bestaat uit coastal mangrove swamps en een kustvlakte die zich 60 tot 100 miles richting het binnenland strekt. Veel rivieren in dit gebied zijn maar over korte afstanden bevaarbaar. In het oosten en noordoosten ligt een hoogvalkte [350 tot 700 meter] met bergen van boven de 2.000 meter (Loma Mansa - Bintimani 2.100 meter) in het Loma Gebergte en het Tingi Heuvelgebied. Oostelijke provincie: Kailahun District, Kenema District and Kono District.
