4.5: Intercede - The Manjaco of Guinea-Bissau
Video available in the original course
The Manjaco people mainly live in northwestern Guinea- Bissau, though others live in southern Senegal. Most Manjaco people hold to traditional religion that centers around the spirits of their ancestors. They believe these ancestral spirits are selfish and vindictive, yet they have power to bring good or bad fortune. During their many rituals Manjacos have been known to demand that the ancestral spirits do them favors in return for the gifts and offerings they bring.
