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.
