Amazigh
The indigenous people of North Africa, the Amazigh (Berber) have maintained distinct languages, art forms, and cultural practices for over 4,000 years.
About
The Amazigh — meaning "free people" — are the original inhabitants of North Africa, with a continuous presence predating Arab conquest by millennia. Their Tifinagh script, geometric textile patterns, and distinctive architecture (ksour and agadir) represent one of the world's oldest living cultural traditions. Despite centuries of marginalization, Amazigh identity has experienced a powerful revival.
