In this edition of Arts and Culture, we look at the customs and social behaviors of the Lorma Ethnic group.
The Lorma people reside in the Lofa County in Liberia. They are known to primarily live in mountainous regions near the border between Guinea and Liberia.
History has it that the people of Lorma migrated from the Mali Empire in the 1600s and settled in modern-day Liberia and Guinea.
James Galakpai Kollie, a farmer and local representative of Lorma youths in Lofa County, talks about the norms of the Lorma people, their unique traditions, and their distinctive identity.
