The Ijo People live among the Niger River delta in Nigeria. They are well-known for their production and alteration of cloth, and number about 200,000. The Ijo people have long lived in an advantageous location near many trade routes, and they were well connected to other areas by trade as early as the 15th century [1]. Thus, in the 1600's, they served as middlemen in the slave trade.
Lifestyle
The Ijo people live by farming and hunting, supplemented by fishing and trading. Yams and Palm oil are processed for export. While some villages (those to the east) had cheifs and a stratified society, other villages had no centralized leader until the arrival of the British.
Marriages are completed by the payment of dowries, which increase in size if the bride is from another village (so as to make up for that village's loss of her children). Funeral ceremonies, particularly for those who have accumulated wealth and respect, are often very dramatic. Traditional religious practices center around "Water spirits" in the Niger river, and around tribute to ancestors.
