[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa: [QB] The Balanta were fiercely independent people. Their patrilineage households were divided into age groups and genders. They love to celebrate festivals and traditional holidays. The Balanta people believed that their ancestors came from the east, Egypt, Ethiopia, and India. DNA research has supported their claims and found a Sudanese origin. Sudan was called Nubia and Egypt in ancient times. The DNA, M1 marker is found in the Balanta people, and the M1 marker is most common in the Nile Valley and East Africa.

They are the largest ethnic group of Guinea-Bissau, representing more than one-quarter of the population. Despite their numbers, they have remained outside the colonial and postcolonial state because of their social organisation. The Balanta can be divided into four subgroups, three of which are Balanta Kentohe, Balanta Ganja and Balanta Brassa, the largest of which are the Balanta Brassa. Archaeologists believe that the people who became the Balanta migrated to present-day Guinea-Bissau in small groups between the 10th and 14th centuries CE. Oral tradition amongst the Balanta has it that they migrated westward from the area that is now Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia to escape drought and wars. During the 19th century, they spread throughout the area that is now Guinea-Bissau and southern Senegal in order to resist the expansion of the Kaabu kingdom. Today, the Balanta are mostly found in the southern and central regions of Guinea-Bissau. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanta_people [/QB][/QUOTE]
