The Mijikenda (the Nine Tribes) are nine Bantu ethnic groups inhabiting the coast of Kenya between the Sabaki and the Umba rivers in an area stretching from the border with Tanzania in the south to the border near Somalia in the north. Archaeologist Chapuruka Kusimba contends that the Mijikenda formerly resided in coastal cities but later settled in Kenya’s hinterlands to avoid submission to dominant Portuguese forces that were then in control.
