EMANCIPATION 2013: THE DOGONS………………Africa’s mystical heritage The DOGON are a tribe from Mali who until fairly recently were able to keep their culture largely undisturbed by hostile tribes, colonists, and modern life. This is mainly due to their geographical isolation along the steep rock walls and plateau of the region BANDIAGARA. the Dogon population is most heavily concentrated along a 200 kilometer (125 mile) stretch of escarpment called the Cliffs of Bandiagara near Timbuktu, South of the Sahara Desert in West Africa. The cliffs provide a spectacular physical setting for Dogon villages built on the sides of the escarpment. There are approximately 700 Dogon villages and roughly 700,000 Dogons in Mali.
