The Bamana peoples, also called the Bambara, form the largest ethnic group within Mali and occupy the central part of the country, in an area of the savannah. They live principally from agriculture, with some subsidiary cattle rearing in the northern part of their territory and have a rich history within West Africa since the 17th century.
