Gbabiri

Gbabiri lies east of Bozoum in the country of the Gbaya. Among Gbaya communities, descent was traced through the father’s line, and families honoured their ancestors in prayers and rites associated with the sharing of game. Hunting, gathering, and cultivation sustained small settlements, whose inhabitants could move as circumstances changed. The landscape was known through its streams and the places associated with the ancestors.

The later city of Bozoum lies here.
