The Twa are a group of indigenous people primarily found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. They are often recognized as one of the earliest inhabitants of the region and are traditionally known for their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The Twa have a rich cultural heritage, including unique art forms and music, which reflect their deep connection to the forest. Historically, the Twa have faced significant challenges, including marginalization and displacement due to the expansion of agricultural societies. Today, many Twa people strive to preserve their cultural identity while also seeking better social and economic opportunities in a rapidly changing world.
