  • Additional Information: Hierarchical and authoritarian, composed of formidable warriors, the Yaka society was governed by leaders of lineage who had the right to life and death over their subjects. The hunt and the prestige that results from it are an opportunity for the Yaka today to invoke the ancestors and to resort to rituals using charms related to the institution "khosi". The society of initiation of young people is n-khanda , which is found in the Eastern Kongo (Chokwe, Luba, etc...),and which uses various charms and masks in order to ensure a vigorous lineage. The ethnic groups Suku and Yaka , very close geographically, have the same social and political structure as well as similar cultural practices. They can only be differentiated by their stylistic variations. (C.M.Faïk-Nzuji, "The Power of the Sacred")( "Treasures of Africa" ed. Museum of Tervuren)
