Who they are
The Zari are an Indigenous community of northern Nigeria, part of the cultural and linguistic mosaic of the country’s central region. Living mainly from family farming in rural villages, many have adopted Hausa as their main language of communication. Their communal identity is shaped by strong ties among neighbors and their traditional heritage, in a region where the Islamic faith shapes daily life for most families.
