There is not one African indigenous religion (AIR); rather, there are many, and they diverge widely. As a group, AIRs are quite different from the scriptural religions the world is more familiar with, since what is central to AIRs is neither belief nor faith, but ritual. Exemplifying an “imagistic” form of religiosity, these religions have no sacred books or writings and are learned by doing, by participation and experience, rather than by instruction and teaching. Belonging to specific local ethnic groups, they are deeply embedded in and informed by the various ecologies of foragers, pastoralists, and horticulturalists—as they are also by the social structures of these societies: they “dwell” in their cultures. These are religions of the living, not so much preparing for afterlife as geared toward meeting the challenges of everyday life, illness and misfortune, mourning and comforting—but also toward feasting, life, fertility, and togetherness, even in death. Quiet rituals of the family contrast with exuberant public celebrations when new adults re-enter the village after an arduous initiation; intricate ritual attention to the all-important crops may include tense rites to procure much needed rains. The range of rituals is wide and all-encompassing. In AIRs, the dead and the living are close, either as ancestors or as other representatives of the other world. Accompanied by spirits of all kinds, both good and bad, harmful and nurturing, existence is full of ambivalence. Various channels are open for communication with the invisible world, from prayer to trance, and from dreams to revelations, but throughout it is divination in its manifold forms that offers a window on the deeper layers of reality. Stories about the other world abound, and many myths and legends are never far removed from basic folktales. These stories do not so much explain the world as they entertainingly teach about the deep humanity that AIRs share and cherish.

A Cluster of some eighteen small tribes, numbering in all some 70,000 people, which lives on the rolling heights between the rivers Kasai, Sankuru and Lulua in the Kasai province of the Congo, are called Kuba by their neighbours. They form a kingdom which is in fact a federation of tribes, dominated by a central group, the Bushoong, whose chief is king of the whole congeries. This federation was imposed by the Bushoong upon the other tribes by conquest or threat of arms during the course of the three last centuries. As with all conquest states of which this one, although a federation, is typical, the different tribes controlled do not all have the same culture. One group, comprising the central tribes, is similar in culture and language. It includes the Bushoong, Ngeende, Pyaang, Byeeng, and Bulaang tribes. Other tribes are culturally akin to this group. Still other tribes belong to the Lulua-Luba Kasai cluster. Among these the patrilineal Coofa and the matrilineal Kete may be mentioned. Finally, other tribes like the Ngoombe or Mbeengi participate in the general type of Mongo cultures. The social structure of all the Kuba tribes with the exception of Coofa and Mbeengi is matrilineal. They are grouped in matrilineal clans, which are divided in small autonomous residential lineages, which can be called clan-sections. Clan-sections of different clans make up a village. The village is ruled by a set of dignitaries and a general council composed of the clan-section heads. The tribes of the central group and the ones who are culturally akin to it group several villages in chiefdoms which are ruled by chiefs assisted by councils. In these tribes, with the exception of the Bushoong, different chiefdoms are united loosely on a tribal scale. The Bushoong, who are the most numerous, are constituted in one chiefdom only. The religion of all the tribes of this cluster is very similar. Ancestor worship is practically absent. There are beliefs in a Supreme Being, in nature spirits, and in spirits or forces which control charms. Furthermore, mention must be made for the whole congeries of tribes of a flourishing art, especially decorative art, which is expressed in weaving, matting, woodcarving, ironworking and even architecture.

Professor Klonimir Škalko came from a family of teachers so that he also decided upon a teaching profession. He was born in Olib in 1895 and after completing elementary and preparatory school which in those days was equivalent to the lower grades of high school, he enrolled at the Male School of Teaching in Arbanasi near Zadar, this being the title by which the school went at that period. He graduated in 1914 and bis first teaching post was in the village of Ba- njevci, the Benkovac district. He remained here from October 1, 1914 to September 30, 1919. Because the threat existed of being arrested when the Italians occupied Dalmatia after WWI, he left for Zagreb where he worked in the publishing-informative department of the People’s council in Zagreb. After a short while a letter arrived from Ivko Radovanović, who had become the provincial school supervisor in 1920, informing him to return to Zadar and assume the teaching duties in the School of teaching. Although to return was difficult he took over the the duties of teacher in the school and of prefect in the pupil’s dorm. After the Rapallo agreement of November 12, 1920 he departed with the other teachers of the school for Dubrovnik, enrolling afterwards at the Higher School of Pegagogy in Zagreb. For a certain period of time he worked in Vis and upon graduating from the Higher School he received a teaching post at the School of Teaching in Šibenik. He went on with his studies in Zagreb — College of Pedagogy — and after graduating became the professor for the pedagogical group of subjects at the School of Teaching in Šibenik. Before the outbreak of WWII he became the principal of this school, but when the Italian forces entered Šibenik he was arrested and sent off to a prisoner’s camp where he remained till the end of 1943. After the liberation of tire country he took up residence and worked in Zagreb where he passed away in 1961. Professor Klonimir Škalko did literary work and, as an excellent pedagogue, he wrote a number of prominent pedagogical monographs and treatise. According to his convictions he was liberal and democratic, as well as being a great patriot, while he was also active and engaged in the social realm up to the time of his death.
