Shake

The Shaké are among the peoples of the upper Ogooué country, where forest and river valleys shaped a history of movement and settlement. Their traditions recall the village of Kandjamabika on the upper Offoué, formed by Shaké and Simba lineages and joined by a Kota lineage. Later the village moved downstream. The region between Lastoursville and Okondja was home to several communities with related histories.
