Kpelle Society and Culture

Another of the several particular aspects of the Kpelle is that there are special names for the male society, called the Poro, and for female society, called Sande. Also, they believe corporal punishment is fundamental for children's development

Just like with our government, each Kpelle district has its own leader, or chief, who is a mediator between the people and the modern society. Another similarity between both cultures is that just like with some families in the countryside, the Kpelle household is the usual farming unit. Even though in the african culture, the male is allowed to have several wives.
