AFRICAN TRIBES
Here we will explore three different tribes, the Zulu, the Ashanti, and the Maasai. There are three main types of tribes, divided by how they get their food: hunters who hunt wild game, gatherers who gather berries and fruit, and herders who herd cattle. The Zulu and Maasai are mainly herders and the Ashanti mainly gatherers. | ||
