WELCOME TO A BLOG ABOUT THE MAKONDE PEOPLE OF MOZAMBIQUE AND TANZANIA

This blog fulfills two purposes.  First, it is meant to connect you to significant internet resources available about the Makonde people.  Second, it should serve as a general introduction to Makonde culture and history.

I tried to find internet material that had a primary focus on the Makonde people.  Some websites simply mention the Makonde, but a few demonstrate significant interest in the Makonde particularly.  I did not rank these websites but have tried to link you to all that I have found helpful.  Look beside the links at the bottom of each page for notes that give you an idea about the website’s contents.

I am personally invested in the Makonde because they will soon be my neighbors.  This September 2010 I and 7 other people  will move to their homeland in the Mtwara Region of Tanzania.  To learn more about this mission please visit our team website at makondteam.com.
