LEGA PEOPLE In the 16th century the Lega began their long migration from modern day Uganda into their present location. They were a warlike people whose fierceness inspired those, with whom they came into contact, to adopt many Lega customs. In the 17th century they attacked the Rwandan outpost of Rutshurer on their way to Maniema, just west of Lake Tanganyika, dividing and conquering the people who lived in the region. Many cultural traits have been assimilated into the surrounding cultures, and the Lega still dominate the region today of the modern-day Democratic Republic of the Congo. 2 FACES LEGA BWAMI MASKS Generally, ancient masks in the Kingdom were symbol of power to the owner.
