	FGC Education and Networking Project - Casamance River�s Native Rice Bonds Sacred Traditions ~ Mark Miller
		This rice was brought to Africa by Portuguese in the 16th century and has gradually replaced the native rice except in places like the lower Casamance where indigenous people like the Ehing and Jola (or Diola) still involve spiritual ceremonies with their native African rice cultivation.
		Holy wars of conversion began in 1860 when groups of Muslim Manding and Fula marched into Casamance to make war and eradicate animist peoples; (non-Muslim Fula, Jola, Banun, Soninke).
		Jola Muslims are not allowed to drink palm wine (though they drink millet beer), so they no longer climb palm trees to tap the sap.

	FWB, December 1993
		The Casamance is home to several peoples, including the Diola (Jola), Mandinka, Soninke, Serer, Wolof, Fulbe, Toucouleur, and Bambara.
		The people of the Casamance (especially the Diolas) therefore have been able to retain a certain amount of autonomy in their traditions, family solidarity, and control of the land since colonial days.
		As religion is concerned, Diolas practice Christianity and/or "animism" (indigenous spiritualism), which makes them distinct in a country dominated by Islam, the influence of which Diolas have traditionally resisted.

	African Religions: An Interpretation
		In some cases, such as the Yoruba and the Jola, this category is limited to spirits of people who led benevolent lives.
		Among the Jola (or Diola) of Senegal, 50 men and women have claimed to be prophets of the supreme being; they spread their teachings throughout their communities on such topics as warfare between neighboring villages, the introduction of new forms of rain rituals, and the introduction of a day of rest for the land.
		The Jola have lesser spirits associated with rain, fishing, blacksmithing, community governance, women's fertility, and male initiation, among other things.

		They are thought to have migrated from southern Senegal in the 16th century (they seem to share common origins with the Diola) and in some areas they have intermarried with the Mandinka or Wolof people, or adopted their languages.
		The Diola inhabit the area southwest of Gambia, where their name is spelt Jola.
		The diola do not have a strong oral tradition (that is they do not have the equivalent of griots, which can keep traditions and history alive for centuries amongst other tribes) and their origins are obscure.

	Jola Initiation Ritual: Mapping No-1
		In the end there is really no difference between the Jola and the Balanta people; instead the folkloric festival of the Casamance is also an illusion that allows for the Jola to continue to claim ownership of the land- that is: masquerade as a political tool.
		The Jola men's initiation ritual re enacted at Casamance can be looked at as an opportunity to observe the formal tendencies and qualities that permeate trans-Senegalian interaction dynamics- this is true whether one chooses to focus on social or abstract formal qualities.
		To experience the video experience of the Jola initiation ritual is to notice the presence of a super environment space aesthetic that allows for the possibility of spatial location directives as well as three dimensional 'cross conversations'- some of which might not even concern the 'intended target'.
