Subaland - Kenya
Subaland
Video featuring the heritage of the Abasuba community living in Western Kenya. The Abasuba (or Suba) live mainly on Mfangano Island of Lake Victoria. Mfangano alone has more than seven clans. Some of them include: Wakinga, Kaswanga, Wiramba, Musokoro, Kakiaya and Wakura.
Although classified as Bantus, the Suba people have adapted fully to the Nilotic communities around them without losing their unique heritage. Suba Language is closely related to the Kisii and Maragoli of Western Kenya. One of the most striking cultural phenomena in this region is rock art. Carving in many shapes, colours and sizes, the rock art is explained in various beliefs within the community. The main rock art sites in Mfangano Island are Mawanga and Kwitone.
Other tourist attraction features include rock gongs, rock cupules, sacred island, sacred forests, peace trees, pre-colonial settlements and a diversity of birds. A mausoleum of Tom Mboya, an eminent independence era politician, is a historical gem of Rusinga Island. And the new Abasuba Museum crowns it all. In addition, Ruma National Park is located within driving distance in Mainland Sindo. The park is known for its population of the rare Roan antelope.
