Abstract: | The paper sought to examine the types of festivals prevalent among the Kadung people of Plateau State and their significance in an ever changing world. The Kadung
people like many other societies in Africa possess cultural
indices which are unique to them and which help shape and
sustain their age long history in the face of modernity and
change orchestrated by globalization. Some of these
cultural practices seem to have lost their value due to
globalization in the form of western education and religious
factors. The essence of this article is to highlight the values
of the Kadung culture in relation to festivities and their
crucial significance to the society. |
