dbo:abstract
  • Els bassans (o basans) són els membres d'una tribu ijaws que viu a l'oest de Bayelsa, al sud de Nigèria. Els poblats dels bassans són: Ezetu (I i II), Koloama (I i II), Sangana, Furupa, Ukubie, Lubia, Azuzuama, Akparatubo i Ekeni. El bassan també és el nom d'un dialecte de la llengua izon A diferència de les altres tribus ijaws, els bassans no tenen una tradició cultural d'un origen comú. Es creu que cadascun dels seus poblats fou creat per la colonització de migracions separades. Així, no es va desenvolupar cap autoritat centralitzada en la tribu bassan. Algunes de les viles van forjar aliances temporals i altres van tenir lluites amb els seus veïns per disputes sobre la terra i els drets de la pesca. (ca)
