To convert means to take on a foreign entity and make it your own. So if Nzinga converted what did we believe in before? How has this conversion helped us?? Se convertir signifie s’approprier une entité étrangère. Alors si Nzinga se convertissait, en quoi croyions-nous avant ?

Mardi Gras Indians (also known as Black Masking Indians) are African American carnival revelers in New Orleans, Louisiana, who dress up for Mardi Gras in suits influenced by Native American ceremonial apparel. Mardi Gras Indians have been practicing their traditions in New Orleans at least since the mid-19th century, possibly before. The history of the Mardi Gras Indians is shrouded in mystery and folklore. After the Civil War, hundreds of freed slaves joined the U.S. Ninth Cavalry Regiment, also known as Buffalo Soldiers. The Buffalo Soldiers fought, killed, forced, and aided the mass removal and relocation of the Plains Indians on the Western Frontier. After returning to New Orleans, many ex-soldiers joined popular Wild West shows, most notably Buffalo Bill's Wild West. The show wintered in New Orleans from 1884 to 1885 and was hailed by the Daily Picayune as "the people's choice". There was at least one black cowboy in the show, and there were numerous black cowhands. On Mardi Gras in 1885, 50 to 60 Plains Indians marched in native dress on the streets of New Orleans. Later that year, it is believed the first Mardi Gras Indian gang was formed; the tribe was named "The Creole Wild West" and was most likely composed of members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. However, the "Indian gangs" might predate their appearance in the City. A source from 1849 refers to black performers on Congo Square fully covered in "the plumes of the peacock.” The origins of the Mardi Gras Indians have also been traced to the mock-war performances by warriors from the Kingdom of Kongo.

#OnThisDay December 18, 1622 Portuguese forces score a military victory over the Kingdom of Kongo at the Battle of Mbumbi in present-day Angola. During the early 17th century, the Kingdom of Kongo was grappling with internal strife and external pressures, including encroachment by Portuguese forces. The relationship between the Kingdom of Kongo and Portugal was complex, involving a blend of diplomatic exchanges, economic ties, and occasional conflicts. In 1622, tensions escalated between Portuguese forces and the Kingdom of Kongo. The catalyst for the conflict was a combination of territorial disputes, disputes over trade, and broader power struggles within the Kingdom of Kongo. The Portuguese sought to maintain and expand their influence in the region, while the Kingdom of Kongo aimed to resist external interference and maintain its autonomy. The Battle of Mbumbi took place near the town of Mbumbi in the Kingdom of Kongo. The exact details of the battle, including the military strategies employed by both sides, are not extensively documented. However, it is recognized as a significant confrontation between Portuguese forces and the Kingdom of Kongo. The battle likely involved clashes between Kongo forces, led by Paulo Afonso, the Duke of Mbamba and Portuguese and allied forces. The Portuguese had a vested interest in maintaining control over trade routes and resources in the region, contributing to the confrontations with local powers. The Battle of Mbumbi had repercussions for both sides. While the specifics of the aftermath are not well-documented, it is generally acknowledged that the Portuguese maintained a considerable degree of influence in the region. The Kingdom of Kongo, already facing internal strife and external pressures, experienced a decline in its political and military standing. They lost much of their light infantry and around 90 of their 200 heavy infantry in the battle. Read the rest of the post down below 👇
🌍 Explore the Legacy of the Kingdom of Kongo 🗺️ In the heart of Africa lies the historical Kingdom of Kongo, a civilization that left an indelible mark on world history. This mighty kingdom, established around the 14th century, was known for its advanced governance, rich culture, and flourishing trade networks. At its zenith, the Kingdom of Kongo stretched across parts of present-day Angola, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Kingdom of Kongo played a crucial role in Africa's interaction with the rest of the world, engaging in vibrant trade and diplomatic relations with European powers and nearby African states. However, the kingdom eventually faced decline due to conflicts, European colonization, and the Atlantic slave trade, which tragically led to the disruption of its society and culture. Today, the territory once occupied by the Kingdom of Kongo is divided among several modern nations, including Angola, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Join us in celebrating the rich history and heritage of this remarkable African kingdom. 🌍👑 #KingdomOfKongo #AfricanHistory #CulturalHeritage #WorldHistory #AfricanCivilization #Colonialism #LegacyOfKongo #HistoricalMap #AfricanKingdoms #CongoRegion #HistoricalLegacy

No processo de formação do reino do Kongo, povos tiveram que migrar de regiões que não ofereciam boas condições de prosperidade, atravessar a floresta equatorial e se estabelecer na bacia do rio Nzaidi. A partir daí, o soberano definir que ali era um local com água abundante, propício para pesca e caça, favorável para agricultura. Então ideal para se instalar com seu povo e chamar de Kongo dia Ntotila. Posteriormente, já estabelecido o povo Kikongo naquele local, deu início a um processo de expansão do reino, e foram surgindo vários subgrupos, como os Muxicongos, Iacas, Quantos, Batas, entre outros. Assim foi se constituindo o grande Reino do Kongo, que tinha como rei o Mwene e Kongo, que tinha outros reinos também sob sua jurisdição. Várias etapas foram necessárias até que o Mwene e Kongo tivesse reinos sob seu poder. Foi necessário uma escassez para motivar uma migração. Depois a busca por um local adequado para se instalar. Preparar este local para a subsistência e proteção do povo. Estabilizar esta condição para só depois dar início ao processo de expansão. Não seria possível expandir sem conseguir primeiro alimentar seu povo, proporcionar segurança para que ali se estabelecesse. É importante ter em mente que isso não aconteceu de um dia pro outro, gerações foram necessárias. Processos levam tempo para alcançar uma estabilidade, e se este tempo se não for respeitado alguma etapa mais a frente será comprometida. Não adianta querer passar o carro na frente dos bois, como diz o ditado. As etapas tem que ser cumpridas, o caminho deve ser percorrido. A magia está em como elas serão cumpridas. Chegar no objetivo é importante, mas talvez mais importante seja desfrutar do caminho, porque se não conseguir no objetivo, quem vier depois já não vai pegar o trabalho do zero. @nkosiya.nzambi #mwenekongo #kongodiantotila #kingdomofkongo #historia #ancestralidade #espiritualidadeafricana #CentroBwaKayiman #OrixasePretagogias #KilûmbuÒkòtó

All my brothers and sisters from Burkina Faso, you must protect this young man. You’ve seen how long it takes for this type of leader to come by. Ever since Sankara died, it's been a while, and now here comes Ibrahim. These archetypes are often hot blooded and ready to do what must be done to save a nation regardless of the backlash from the West and those that profit from a corrupt regime. It's up to you guys to make sure he fulfills his mission. He can't do it alone because no great man can take on a great task alone. In a circle, everyone has a role to play. Don't let the West and its puppets take this great man(warrior) from you.✊🏾✊🏾🇧🇫 #africanunity #kongo #congodiaspora #blackconsciousness #kingdomofkongo #explorepage #blackhistory #wakeupblackpeople #kongorenaissance #malcolmx #congo #zamba #bantu #africa

It bothers me whenever I go home and see our sisters and mothers take the role of simply a house wife. Nothing more nothing less.This patriarch has really done lots of damage on our people. For our weak minded men it’s form of control and perversion. Our mothers were powerful people and highly respected on all aspects. They were involved in all levels of society including governance. There was a reason why woman had to go through ki-kumba which sounds like Kamba. Kumba also means to drive. Meaning to guide because our mothers were raised to be lead. The title mother wasn’t given to one simply because they gave birth. You can give birth and still not be considered a mother in the kingdom of Kongo. We must chatter the European in us and make space for our true identity. Not everything is for social media. Cela me dérange chaque fois que je rentre à la maison et que je vois nos sœurs et nos mères jouer le rôle de simples femmes au foyer. Rien de plus rien de moins. Ce patriarche a vraiment fait beaucoup de mal à notre peuple. Pour nos hommes faibles d'esprit, c'est une forme de contrôle et de perversion. Nos mères étaient des personnes puissantes et très respectées à tous égards. Ils étaient impliqués à tous les niveaux de la société, y compris la gouvernance. Il y avait une raison pour laquelle la femme devait passer par ki-kumba qui ressemble à Kamba. Kumba signifie aussi conduire. Signifiant guider parce que nos mères ont été élevées pour être en tête. Le titre de mère n'a pas été donné à une personne simplement parce qu'elle a accouché. Vous pouvez accoucher et ne pas être considérée comme une mère dans le royaume de Kongo. Nous devons faire parler l'Européen en nous et faire place à notre véritable identité. Tout n'est pas pour les réseaux sociaux. #africanunity #kongo #congodiaspora #blackconsciousness #kingdomofkongo #explorepage #blackhistory #wakeupblackpeople #kongorenaissance #malcolmx #congo #zamba #bantu #africa
Back when the village chiefs had power where they could bend the quantum field through alchemy. But pure ancestral powers don't mix with greed and lust for power/money. Sadly it's what we see today. The lesson here is that it takes one person to stand up and the fire/light starts to grow and spread like wild fire. These folks refused to be enslaved at all levels. They fought for our unity(Kongo dia total) yet today our relationships are full of betrayal and personal interests. Remember this words “a mother protects” À l'époque où les chefs de village avaient le pouvoir de maîtriser le champ quantique grâce à l'alchimie. Mais les pouvoirs ancestraux purs ne se mélangent pas avec la cupidité et la soif de pouvoir/d'argent. Malheureusement, c'est ce que nous voyons aujourd'hui. La leçon ici est qu'il faut qu'une personne se lève et que le feu/la lumière commence à se développer et à se propager comme un feu sauvage. Ces gens ont refusé d'être réduits en esclavage à tous les niveaux. Ils se sont battus pour notre unité (Kongo dia total) mais aujourd'hui nos relations sont pleines de trahisons et d'intérêts personnels. Rappelez-vous ces mots "une mère protège" #africanunity #kongo #congodiaspora #blackconsciousness #kingdomofkongo #explorepage #blackhistory #wakeupblackpeople #kongorenaissance #malcolmx #congo #zamba #bantu #africa
Shipboard Revolt Masamba was a tall man, handsome as an etching with kola nuts fastened around his ankles. His grasp of Portuguese was flawless and he understood Spanish speakers better than they understood him. He claimed that he was a Kongo prince, unlawfully taken by slavers who had paid for their presumption dearly, but he seemed in no great hurry to return to his homeland. I’ve read quite a few interesting papers and chapters on Portuguese relations with the Kingdom of Kongo, though my knowledge is still sorely lacking so I welcome both criticism and recommendations. #thefoundingoflibertalia #historicalfantasy #historicalfantasyart #fantasyart #digitalart #digitalillustration #krita #kritaart #art #historicalfiction #historicalfictionart #characterdesign #characterart #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #goldenageofpiracy #libertalia #slavery #transatlanticslavetrade #slavetrade #portugeuseslavetrade #kongo #kingdomofkongo #shipboardrevolt #kolanuts #ship #rigging #kubacloth #slaverevolt
