The Malinke Tribe

Daily Life

Big on welcomings and greetings.

Work life consists primarily of farm work, where males and females have specific roles from society.

Soccer is the largest sport of the Malinke tribe, more among men than women.

Polygamy is practiced

(Islam allows men to have up to four wives)

There are around 1.5 million Malinke people

stretched across 800 miles.

The Malinke participate in many different festivals and ceremonies such as name giving ceremonies, both male and female circumcision ceremonies, and marriages (which are often arranged).

MUSIC

Religion is predominantly Islamic. Religious

meetings are led by the elected 'Imam.'

They also have a very complicated process and number of ceremonies that are performed when a member of the tribe passes.

Imams are believed to have special powers,

including the healing of wounds caused by

both people and spirits.

The Malinke believe the days Friday and Thursday to be 'especially holy.'

Clothing

Some have adapted in urban areas and cities, wearing the same clothes as you and I.

Many Malinke people still live in villages with their tribes and make their own clothing.

are made with bright colors, maintaining the tradition that the tribes hold so dearly.
