In Africa, the major religions include traditional beliefs such as animism, while trade, migration, and colonization brought Judaism, Islam, and Christianity to Africa. Traditional religions such as animism, the belief that all things (living and non-living including natural phenomenon such as wind) have a soul and some of these things may be held up as gods.

Arabs Any member of the Arabic-speaking peoples native to the Middle East and North Africa. Many Arabs are Muslims (followers of Islam), but some are also followers of Christianity.

Ashanti People of West Africa near Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo. Ashanti ethnic group mostly have traditional beliefs. The symbol of Asanti unity is the Golden Stool, held to be so sacred that not even kings were allowed to sit on it. They also believe in spiritual and supernatural powers.

BANTU One of the original ethnic groups in Africa that was part of the largest migration of people on the continent thousands of years ago. Many Bantu Africans have traditional beliefs as they believe in the power of ancestors in everyday life. However, in parts of east Africa Bantu culture has mixed with the Arab culture to create a new ethnic group and culture known as Swahili. An

SWAHILI The Swahili people live on the east coast of Africa from Somalia to Mozambique. Many Swahili people are Muslims (believe in Islam) after Arabs brought the religion from Arabia when trading. However, they also mix in some traditional beliefs with their Islamic beliefs. The Swahili language is a mixture between Bantu and Arabic.
