Dogón
Los dogón son un grupo étnico que vive en la región central de Malí, al suroeste de la curva del río Níger, cerca de la ciudad de Bandiagara, en la región de Mopti. Su población está estimada entre 400 000 y 800 000 personas.[1] Los dogón son especialmente conocidos por sus tradiciones religiosas, sus bailes con máscaras, su escultura de madera y su arquitectura. El último siglo ha visto sucederse importantes cambios en su organización social, en su cultura material así como en sus creencias, en buena medida como consecuencia del atractivo turístico del país dogón.
