Liberia is often called the "Land of the Free," but did you know it is also one of the most ethnically diverse nations in West Africa? This coastal gem is home to over 16 indigenous tribes, each with its own unique language, customs, and history, along with the descendants of the settlers who founded the modern republic.

In this video, we dive into the heart of Liberian identity, exploring the three major linguistic groups and the historical figures who shaped the nation.

The Tribes Featured:
Kpelle, Bassa, Gio (Dan), Mano, Kru, Lorma, Grebo, Gola, Kissi, Krahn, Vai, Mandingo, Gbandi, Mende, Dei, and Belleh.
