Our Heritage
Our Roots
Connected to the Chefferie Bana, we honor our traditional hierarchy and values in the modern world — from the kingdom of Bana to the communities we build across the United States.
The Chefferie Bana
Founded in 1379, the Bana Kingdom is a first-degree chiefdom, today led by His Majesty Fo Sikam Happi V. Traditional hierarchy, notables, and keepers of custom remain at the heart of our identity.
The Homeland
Bana lies in the green highlands of the Haut-Nkam division, in the heart of Bamileke country in Cameroon’s West Region — the grandeur of our ancestral palaces and the beauty of our rolling hills.
