Description
This packet covers the mighty African kingdom of Mali--rich in culture and tradition--that sprang up along the continent's west coast. Through strength and ingenuity, it overcame tremendous odds in adapting to the often harsh African climate and environment. Special emphasis is given to the rich tradition of African arts in the form of music, dance, and sculpture as well as to the prominence of religion and the importance of the family as principal organizing features of African society.
