About: Kalungas

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Kalungas are Brazilians that descend from people who freed themselves from slavery, and lived in remote settlements in Goiás state, Brazil. The Kalungas are one group of Quilombola, or people of African origin who live in hinterland settlements founded during the period of escaped slaves. The Kalunga communities of Goiás have existed for approximately 250 years, and first came back into contact with researchers and the federal government in the 1960s. Most of the approximately 5,000 Kalungas, who are of mixed African and indigenous ancestry, live in very poor conditions. In Zambia, the name Kalunga is of Bantu origin and means "Hunter or accurate hunter".

dbo:abstract
  • Calunga es el nombre dado a los descendientes de los esclavos de las minas de oro del Brasil central que huyeron o fueron liberados dando lugar a comunidades auto-suficientes. Estos vivieron aislados durante más de 200 años en regiones remotas próximas a Chapada dos Veadeiros. Son 3 las grupos que componen dicha etnia, distribuidos en los municipios de Cavalcante, Teresina de Goiás y Monte Alegre. La comunidad más poblada, con algo más de 2.000 habitantes, está situada en el municipio de Cavalcante, que integra las localidades de Engenho II, Prata, Vão do Moleque y Vão das Almas, siendo esta última la de más reciente incorporación al integrarse hace 30 años a dicho municipio. Hace poco, algunos estudios han indicado la presencia de calungas en las regiones de Tocantins, alrededor de Natividade, y en regiones aisladas de Jalapão. Durante todo este tiempo hubo mestizajes con los indios del lugar, granjeros y hombres blancos de una fuerte influencia católica, dando lugar a una cultura híbrida, característica que se manifesta en la alimentación de la etnia y en el fuerte sincretismo existente.

In Zambia, the name Kalunga is of Bantu origin and means "Hunter or accurate hunter". All of the area occupied by the Kalungas was officially recognized by the state government in 1991 as a Historical Site and the Kalunga are preserved as Patrimônio Cultural Kalunga. The Kalungas settled in the mountains on both sides of the Paraná River, on slopes and in valleys, called Vãos. Today they occupy the territory of Cavalcante, Monte Alegre e Teresina de Goiás. The four main settlements are in the region of Contenda, the Vão do Calunga, the Vão de Almas, the Vão do Moleque and the Ribeirão dos Bois. Other Kalungas remain in unrecognized communities or in isolation. (en)
