- Liberia has a rather unique history as a nation, being the oldest democracy in Africa and retaining its independence during the scramble for Africa by Europe. However this video is not really about Liberia’s history but about the various ethnic groups that make up the nation. So what are the various ethnic groups in Liberia?
There are 16 ethnic tribes in Liberia. Dey is one of the smallest. Meanwhile, you forgot or neglected half of the tribes in the country including, Krahn, Gio, Vai, Mandingo, Grandi, Loma, Mano, and many other.
Exactly 💯
At least he tried, bro liberians don’t do anything culture wise

RIGHT !
The last is American Liberians
@@sandraubochi9388 The Americo Liberians are not considered part of the indigenous ethnic group or the tribes of Liberia. The Americo Liberians in Liberia is referred to as thr Congur people who left America and settled in Liberia 🇱🇷. The 16 tribes are the people the settlers met when they arrived.
lol she's trying.
@@MaggieNip americo Liberians are also made up of Caribbeans and freed enslaved ppl from Congo! There were about 11K free & enslaved from America, 3200 free/enslaved from Barbados and over 5000 ppl from Congo that were on ships and the English caught the ship and turned it around to Liberia and became known as Americo or Congo/congur ppl
There are many tribes that was left out. The Gio, mano, grebo Krahn, and the Sarpo people you can find the gio and mano in east northern Liberia including the ivory coast. The grebo, Krahn, and sarpo are also in the south Eastern region of Liberia.
Yup the grebo people are in Maryland county

They NEVER know wtf they talking about when they speak on Liberia this is crazy..
Pronounce Kpelleh with a silent K.
Hi bro that cool
I was checking out for vai mainly
You forgot the Mano, gio, Dan, Kharn, gbandi, Mandingo, and belle
Americo Liberians who are also a settler group
@@milady7394 Those tribes they count who are now called natives migrated from somewhere how different is migrating from America
@@milady7394 The sixteen tribes that are counted are: Dey, Gbandi, Grebo, Kpelleh, Bassa, Lorma, Mano, Belleh, Mende, Krahn, Kissi, Gola, Kru, Gio, Kru, Gio, Mandingo, and Vau. They all have tribal mask and most, if not all live through out West Africa
@@milady7394 Whenever you can I would like those names. Most people I know count sixteen, the Gio are thought to be the first to come to the Land now known as Liberia check out Focus on Liberia it's on You Tube
@@milady7394 History of Liberia: The Early Settlements of the Land
He doesn't have full historical knowledge of the 16 tribes in Liberia. Dey is not a 'major tribe' in Liberia. An extension of the Lorma, just like the Sarpo, a 'subset' of the khran they grew fast during the early 80s. I stand corrected. Major: Bassa Kpessi, Gio, Mende, Grand, Gola, Mano, Kru, Grebo, Vai, Mandingo, Americo-Liberia, kissi and Lorma, the two tungdo chopper.
Thank u for sharing your knowledge with us, but u missed out few others tribes
1. Belleh
2. Mandingo
3.Gio
4. Marno
As far as I can remember. I will keep u information if other comes in mind.

What about grebo... Is this just a tribe or a ethnic group?
My mother is haitian and she match many Liberian I don't know if they are kru bassa or something else but the name are Johnson kobbah blomingdale menso ?
You didn't say anything much about the Maryland event which is the Grebo people.
You didn't mention the krahn and the gio tribes, the troublesome two of Liberia.
Thanks. You really tried.
I’m sorry if this is an offensive slur but I watched a movie and they kept referring to a group of people as “doggo” is it a tribe which is not mentioned.
Noooooo
Made up tribe
You did not mention the counties occupied by the Kru in Liberia
The Kru have great footballers, Even the Bete in Ivory coast; we have Didier Drogba.
What about my kongo people from kongo kingdom ( in our day DRC,kongo brazza, South of Gabon and Angola)
This is just about half of the story of the ethnic groups in Liberia. Please get it in full before publishing it. A half info is a false information. And it’s misleading. Thanks
This dude need to slap 👋🏽 himself for the lack of knowledge on Liberian tribal history smh, F.Y.I I’m grebro.
Where is gio/Dan, Krahn etc
The sarpo group in sinoe
Where’s my Tribe.. the Grebo
FROM IINIDA MAY GOD BLESS ALL
tq
If that's the poorest country in Africa I can tell you it looks a whole lot better than some of the poor areas in the United States. I'm American I live in the U.S.
You left out so many more tribes in your presentation including the Krahn ethnic group.
U forgot about mande speaking people which are mende, mandingos, vai etc.good history. U have mande speaking people all over west depending on how they called them in different countries .that another influence of richest, biggest and one of most influence empire in history of Africa.
Mendi, loma, mano,krhan and mandingo
I am Black American and am told that j have ties to, "Brewerville, Liberia.
Need help
I'm Liberian and Brewerville has lots of Americo-Liberian which are known as Congoes( spelling kinda wrong)
Belle people
Hello, where did you get your facts from? I demand that you to put this mess down. Your sources are so very wrong!!! Lies,lies lies!!!
If you don't know about a country, do proper research, you left lots of tribes out and your history is not on point, go back and do more research. I'm a Liberian and KRU
I just recieve my African Ancestry Paternal DNA resultson March 21 2022 and it came back as the Kru People living in Liberia if you could reach out to me and give me more history on the KRU people i would really appreciated. My Marternal results came back as the Temne people living in Sierra Leone
@@keith2181 wow, I shared the two countries, my maternal side is from Sierra Leone. You can find the kru in both countries, 🇱🇷 and Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 . The kru people are travelers and best know back than as fishermen, they love sea. They settled in Liberia 🇱🇷, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Ivory Coast..
@@MaggieNip that's amazing because my grand father all he did was fish he was also a bishop. I have never visit Sierra 🇸🇱 or Liberia 🇱🇷 but I do plan on in the near future. Have you visit any of them yet?
@@keith2181 I grew up in Liberia 🇱🇷 and I used to visit my grandmother in Sierra Leone, In fact I might go both countries before the year ends. The Kru live closer to where sea are back than. They are the most educated people in Liberia. Very smart people. Their love for the sea and education is remarkable. I plan this year to go back to Sierra Leone to visit my grandmother grave and have a memorial in her honor. Most kru are Catholics and Episcopalian. I'm a Catholic
@@MaggieNip o wow that's very interesting to know I'm sorry to hear about your grand mother may her soul rest in power. Do you know any good books or website I can read more on the Kru People. It's interesting to know that they love the sea because every since I was a little kid I would always wonder why I'm so attach to the ocean still till this day as a grown man lol

Im bassa by tribe praise master Jesus forever.
I'm sorry, but nobody worships ghostface. The images could stand to be altered. The "ancestral worship," among other parts, features an image of someone in the mask from the Scream movies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mother told me that Monrovia belong to the Bassa people
As a Bassa Man you missing a lot of tribes and I don’t like that
Fr
Why dont you diligently list the tribes missing as the producer requested instead of simply complaining and telling the world about your feelings. No one benefits from that. At least the maker of the video did something good. You should do your part.
@@alllove6874 The creator decided to make the video and not do proper research, that’s on him not us.
@@leslier5782right like 😂
🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
95% of we bassa are Christan praise master Jesus forever
People were believers way before the Europeans set foot on the land. Stop twisting our history.
You don't know what you're talking about please be more informed in future
The Afrokan carribien, American people who returned.
