Abstract

Ancestral land refers to ‘land of ancestors’. That is the land occupied by ones’ forebearers for generations and left something behind of value for current and future generations. There are usually contestations as to which ancestors the land belongs because of the history of internal migration and of displacements by stronger nations (tribes).
