Migration Paths
1. Using the map on page 1 of your Migration Journal,
draw the different paths of Migration that the Bantu
people followed.
2. Make sure to also label the areas they settled in.
Why Migrate?
NEED TO MOVE
"When people move they move for a reason. They move
because the population has expanded. They move because the
resources which support the population in the settlements
have become more or less inadequate. They move because
there are changes to the climate and they move for the sake of
finding better areas in which to live.”
~Professor Leonard Ngcongco, University of Botswana

* On Page 3 of your Migration Journal record the FOUR reasons why the
Bantu people migrated
Why Migrate?
"Chief among the reasons for migration is environmental
stress and population increase in West Africa, forcing
people to move. It is important to realize that these people
are not moving across the landscape like bugs bunny or the
energizer bunny, but essentially they are moving slowly,
gradually inhabiting areas that were good for farming and
livestock raising."
~ Dr. Chapirukha Kusimba, Field Museum, Chicago.

migrate away from their
homeland

migrate away from their homeland

People have done?
