Who they are
The Miya are an indigenous community in northern Nigeria, concentrated mainly in Bauchi State. They preserve a distinctive cultural identity, expressed through their mother tongue and the community ties that shape everyday life. Traditionally connected to farming on their ancestral lands, they value family solidarity and the preservation of their local customs amid the changes around them.
