Sherbro people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sherbro people are a native people of Sierra Leone, who speak the Sherbro language. They are also known as the Bulom.
Since the Sherbro people are native people of Sierra Leone, their history dates back to pre-colonial times. In the 1920s the Sherbro people were still being ruled by chiefs and were still under their own rule. There are few ethnic Sherbros today in Sierra Leone.
The Sherbro people like many other Sierra Leonean ethnic groups (such as the Sierra Leone Krio people) have a rich culture. The Sherbro people represent many different religions.
