Hello family I am of Balanta/Mandinka ancestry born California. I am still learning of my connection to my brothers and sisters. In the region. Of Guinea Bissau and Sengal
HI recently have done African Ancestry and through my mothers Ancestry i have discovered that. I share ancestry with both the Balanta and Mandinka peoples. I am currently researching both. Im subbing to your channel to learn more about them.
Yo mbibaba, N'sumna (Greetings, my brother). I can tell by your results that you are Balanta Mane. Abeni (Thankh you) for subscribing to my channel. I will be posting more about Balanta History and Culture soon.
Imagine if we could teach our African American young boys this knowledge. Knowledge of self and ones ancestry is crucial to ones identity. It's up to us to teach our own. Great information.
I’m glad that you mentioned the bottom of the scabbard. My people (Mende/Vai) carry similar blades, and as you know, the style of sheathe had a characteristic leaf-shape flare towards the tip of the blade.
By the grace of God, we have the chance to experience these exceptional moments of reconnection between the different sons and daughters of black people. None of our ancestors or descendants would understand what has been going on for a few years. Let us give thanks to God for this immeasurable benefit and this gift he gives us.
I have a lot of catching up to do on your videos. I just received my Paternal African Ancestry Results, which is Balanta in Guinea Bissau. The crazy thing is, I subscribed to your channel two months ago when I first did the AA dna test…
Great Video Brother. Appreciate The Information. My Teacher Carried That Type of Sword for Many Years. I Would Really Love the opportunity To Speak With You Regarding Events we will Be Hosting here in Detroit.
Sir. I have made a short video clip would you go on my channel please and look at theses daggers It would mean the world to me your knowledge of this matter is the best I could find thank you
he teaches amazingly

Thanks for showing me of the Mande swords 😎💪🏾
This is probably my favorite type of African sword. So unique and pleasing to look at.
Yeah, I agree!
Good video, Balantas probably relied on their bow and arrow first using the saber for close quarter combat.

@@Legally_Bomb you're so right, brother. And best believe many of us are doing just that in our own communities. I trust you will as well 💯✊🏿
I am a decendant of the Mali Empire and Kaabu Empire 💪🏾
Beautiful sword. I really like the ornate leather work on the grip and scabbard.

Great video. Wish there was more content on TH-cam like this. Profiling subsaharan African history and weapons in intimate detail.
This is a great find I've been searching for topics on west african swords and sportsmanship forever keep up the good work
Awesome! They're obscure, but present! Thankhs for the support!

That sword is one of the Mande swords it’s a Mandinka Saber
I can definitely see the genetics of your maternal tribe in your face. Mainly your eye structure.
Which tribe you think lol
Paternal lineage?? But African DNA is matrilineal, so there's no such thing as paternal lineage.
