  2. The Baronga Tribe • A group from southeastern Africa in the country of Mozambique • Bantu-speaking language • The group is a part of the Thonga nation • Live in small villages • The villages have a hereditary leader who is aided by a council of family heads

  3. Totemism • The belief focused around a mystical relationship between a group of people and a specific plant or animal. • This practice developed when people first began to cultivate the soil. • It reflects their dependence on the natural world. • Early farmers believed that animals have human emotions and that they are equal or superior to humans in intelligence and strength. Therefore, this belief fostered respect.

  4. The Tale • Told by Henry Junod and first published in 1898. • Unlike a myth, which conveys supernatural power, this tale conveys the psychological power that the fear of supernatural phenomena can have over the human mind.
