The Dogon villages are built on cliffs, plateaus and plains.

There are three principal cults among the Dogon: the Awa, Lebe and Binu.

Their precise origin is undetermined, they believed in gods who came from the sky in space ships and created the Dogon’s population, they also believed that some day their gods would return.

Kananga masks represented the first human beings. The Dogon believe that the Dama dance creates a bridge into the supernatural world. Without the Dama dance, the dead can not cross over into peace.
