Why Are We Preserving Cultural Legacy?  

Preserving cultural legacy is about more than just celebrating history and traditions. It's also about fostering a sense of identity and pride among the African diaspora. Our efforts to safeguard this heritage involve documenting oral histories, protecting historical sites, and promoting traditional art, music, and storytelling. By doing so, we ensure that the vibrant tapestry of black culture continues to flourish for generations to come.

The Design: The Tribe Vault logo depicts a Mmanwu or Masquerade, emitting energy by playing the drums. The Masquerade is shielded by two knives and surrounded by a shield. This design showcases the interconnectedness of our spiritual beliefs. The drums depict the sound of music and the energy produced that heals the world. The sword and shield symbolize protection.

“Mmanwu’, also known as a “Masquerade,” is a traditional masquerade of the Igbo people of Nigeria. These masquerades play significant roles in ceremonies, festivals, and cultural performances. They often represent ancestral spirits, deities, or other supernatural beings and are believed to communicate messages from the spirit world to the living community. Mmanwu performances are elaborate and colorful, featuring dances adorned in intricate costumes and masks. 

The Tribe Vault logo honors the historical significance of all spiritual practices in black culture. This includes Christianity, Islam, African Traditional Religions, spiritualism, Rastafarisanism, Hoodoo, Rootwork, and others unmentioned. These practices are not mutually exclusive and can be incorporated into multiple traditions in your spiritual lives.
