The Igbo Village In America Where They Build With Mud And Thatch, Virginia USA by Frankdoz8: 8:54am On Apr 04, 2020 |
The Igbo Village in America: Ndi Igbo Built a Village with Mud and Thatch in Virginia, USA. The Igbo are well traveled and always making impacts wherever they find themselves. The Igbo Farm Village in the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton Virginia was built collectively as children and adults jointly partook in the construction. This is one of the five farmsteads to recognize contribution of the first old world immigrants to the development of Virginia and the greater American Frontier Culture. In 2002, after the American Frontier Culture Foundations has funded the construction of the English, Irish, German and Colonial American Farms, the staff of the Frontier Culture Museum began to consider one that will represent West Africa's people and culture. In 2003, after hearing of Prof. Akụma's research which he retraced the slave journeys from Arọchukwu to the Costal towns of Calabar and Bonny before they were forced to the Americas, the Frontier Museum contacted him. It is observed that in 1700, the major number of African slaves in America were the Igbo. Because of this, this Museum would no longer be called West Africa Farm Village but, Igbo Farm Village. In March 2006 American Frontier Culture Museum Staff traveled to Nigeria and together with the staff of Nigerian National Commission for Museums and Monuments gathered information on traditional Igbo architecture. Containers full of traditional building materials were shipped from Nigeria to the United States for the Construction of the Igbo Farm Village. Throughout the construction periods, volunteers came from the Chicago areas, Washington DC, Nashville, Bowling Green, Kentucky; Orlando, New Jersey, California, etc. After construction, the Igbo from different parts of the world gather here on vacations, celebrations and remembrance of their cultural identities and histories. The Igbo born and bred in the States who never experienced masquerades and what village looks like feel at home here. Some African Americans constantly visit here, conduct their DNA and discover their Igbo ancestry. Igbo amaka! Igbo amaka!! Igbo amaka!!!

Do they think that's how igbo people live now?, The problem with Americans is that they believe they do the right things but they are ignorant of what is right. 1 Like |

You determine what technology or development is. Imagine a house that is cool all year long. Does not require lighting, airconditioner or heater but maintains the right temperature. That is the African mud thatch house. And that's technology. If them carry light globally some people no go survive. That's why I love Nigeria we still have our basic technologies such that we can still survive even when the odds are against us. 1 Like |

Stop living in fantasy island. The igbo has no village in America. Anyone could buy a land in America and show off this trash and claim it's anything. |
