The Place Of The Elephant In Culture And Oral Tradition On the elephant's important and mythical position in the culture and oral traditions among the local Category Arts Literature Myths and Folktales Myths African......The Place of the Elephant in the culture and Oral Tradition in Northern cameroon(Part I) Natasha Zwall Martin Tchamba Due to the interaction of elephant http://www.nczooeletrack.org/elephants/inculture1.html

The Place of the Elephant in the Culture and Oral Tradition in Northern Cameroon (Part I) Due to the interaction of elephant with human beings, the elephant occupies an important and mythical position in the culture and oral traditions among the local population. Many tales are told with the intention to justify the behaviour of elephants in a given region. The most interesting and fascinating of these tales are those that attempt to give explanation to the origin of these elephants, their related human aspect as well as their relations with other animals. The belief that marauder elephants migrated from Chad is generally agreed upon in this region. Far behind, before the elephants were signaled in this region, travelers from Chad were said to have told mythical stories about some gigantic animals; "even the most colossal of all the villagers was unable the reach or touch the back of this enormous creature with the hand". The story of the arrival of the first elephants in the villages is also told with mythical vehemence. "The first elephant to arrive, got there in the night. Without the slightest noise nor did it destroy any farm. Just its footprints were conspicuously marked out on the ground. At dawn, these footprints, as large and wide as the human feet put together, were discovered by the villagers. These villagers thought that someone must have done it as a work of art. Speculations were made to this unraveled phenomenon. Finally, after a few days, the villagers saw the animal. It was a miracle".

Germany Info Home: World Cup: Germany Beats Cameroon to Advance Match : Carsten Jancker goes up against midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe. dpa photo Germany beat Cameroon 2-0 on June 11 to advance to the World Cup round of 16. The game between the two leaders in Group E saw the continued rise to Cup stardom for Miroslav Klose, who scored his fifth goal of the tournament, another header, to seal the victory for Germany in the 79th minute. Klose was also key in the first goal in the 50th minute when he beat Cameroon defenders and found substitute Marco Bode who shot it past goalee Boukar Alioum. The game was perhaps most notable for its officiating, with the Spanish referee throwing a total of 16 yellow cards and ousting Germany's Carsten Ramelow in the 40th minute and Cameroon's Patrick Suffo in the 77th. Foul : Referee Antonio Nieto Lopez red-cards Carsten Ramelow as teammate Michael Ballack looks on. dpa photo A tie was all Germany needed to secure the step into the round of 16. Both Cameroon and Germany led Group E with four points going into the game, but Germany had the goal-differential advantage. Cameroon tied against Ireland and beat Saudi Arabia 1-0. Germany also tied against Ireland, but beat Saudi Arabia 8-0. The game in Shizuoka, Japan, pitted coach Rudi Völler against his countryman Winfried "the Tiger" Schaefer who led Cameroon to become African Cup of Nations champions in 2000. But their loss against Germany means Cameroon exits the tournament. Ireland will advance after beating Saudi Arabia 3-0.

iWon Travel Africa Cameroon Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History Despite an invitation from a Douala chief to set up a protectorate over the area in the 1850s, Great Britain dallied for decades and finally lost to the Germans in 1884, who beat them to an agreement by five days. The Germans were active colonisers, building schools, railways and plantations. But German rule was harsh: at one plantation a fifth of the labourers died in a single year from overwork. After WWI Cameroon received new overlords courtesy of the League of Nations, which gave the French a mandate over 80% of the territory, and the British control of two separate areas, one in the south-western highlands (Southern Cameroons) and the other in the north (Northern Cameroons, now part of Nigeria). As a result, a single nation was divided into three parts governed by two colonial powers - hardly a situation conducive to later unification. What was worse, the British neglected their territories and instead lavished attention on their administrative capital in Nigeria. Within a few years the Brits sold their Cameroons holdings back to the Germans, who didn't last much longer - the outbreak of WWII saw them repatriated and stripped of their land by the Allies. By contrast, the French improved the railway (with forced labour, forbidden by their mandate), developed cocoa and palm-oil plantations and exported timber, increasing the value of trade fivefold in its portion of the country between the world wars. After WWII, new political parties formed in French Cameroon, pressing for independence. A northern-based party, the Union Camerounaise, gained control of the national assembly, aggravating the resentment of southerners. Following independence in 1960, that ill will blossomed into a full-scale rebellion that took five battalions of French troops and a squadron of fighter planes eight months to put down. Thousands were ruthlessly killed and a state of emergency was declared that lasted two decades. The Union Camerounaise held onto power and its leader, Ahmadou Ahidjo, a northerner and ardent Muslim, became president.

Within each unit there are numerous secret societies responsible for the preservation of rituals. By contrast, the Bamoun are governed by a single leader called the sultan Whereas the south has been in contact with Europe for over 500 years, until the 20th century the north was part of quasi-feudal Muslim Fulani kingdoms centered in Nigeria, and tradition and resistance to outside influence remain strong. This isolation has kept Western-style development to a minimum. Most northerners, however, are neither Fulani nor Muslim but Kirdi, the Fulani word for pagan. The Kirdi are comprised of tribes driven by the Fulani into the inhospitable and isolated rocky areas near the Nigerian border. The music of Cameroon is among the most popular in Africa, especially makossa , a popular dance rhythm you'll hear blaring out of clubs and discos. Makossa is adaptable to a wide variety of instrumentation, from traditional thumb pianos to guitars and synthesizers. Manu Dibango brought the style to international prominence in the early 1970s; now Sam Fan Thomas is the king of makossa. Another popular dance music is bikutsi , typically sung in Ewonde.

The Material Culture of Twins in West Africa. See pictures of Cameroon. Many cultures, including our own, celebrate the birth of twins, some view them as something dangerous that must be destroyed but is rare to find a society that is indifferent to this unusual occurrence. The treatment of twins in West Africa is particularly unusual, possibly due to the high twin rate in this area. In the Cameroonian Grassfields twins are generally regarded as gifts from God. They are highly celebrated and respected. My own experience as a 'Manyi' (mother of twins) in Cameroonian culture made me aware of the significance of twins to this society. With this research I hope to enlighten archaeologists working in West Africa. I would like to provide a data base of material culture associated with twins to allow correct interpretation of the archaeological record. This site is designed to teach you about Cameroon and all its rich history. My own work is available for you to read and of course you have to check out the fun stuff! After all, learning should be entertaining! Site content the Simon Fraser University and the author,-Rachael Ndi.
