TODAY:

In many parts of Africa today, there are lovely modern cities. But there are also many villages, where villagers still live as they did five hundred years ago.  

Tribesmen still live as part of immense “families” that collectively own the land. They are a living record of the way things were.  In many villages, the community as a whole raises the children. 

Homes are built alike and they are built from the materials around them. Even today, homes in a village might be built of thick mud walls decorated with designs. They are smart homes for the area in which they are built. Thick mud cools the home in blazing summer heat. Homes on stilts protect homes from flooding. As in olden times, tribesmen keep a close eye on nature.
