This guy is cerebral. His knowledge of Trans Atlantic trade is really deep and his presentation skills is phenomenal. Well done Dynast, this is really vintage you.
Love this Historian. Making me proud of my homeland. Hope he gets to narrate our history for all to hear.
Reading/studying is always good but it's even better to learn African history through travel, interesting. Thanks for video.
May the Almighty God continue to bless you prince Dynasty
Geez, he is so knowledgeable!
Wow!! This brother is well versed in history. Very educative!!
Knowledge is power!
God you did pick a Young historian he is really good.
Indeed. He's not just giving a general idea, he even has dates and names of people and places. He ties everything together. Sir Francis Drake, Spanish Succession Wars, American Revolution, French Revolution, Granville Town. Not bad at all.
Some African American are very intelligent look at this young man searching for his root and history instead of seating like others claiming Jews. Caucasian or American due to nagative thought. Thinking that being African is a taboo. Ignorant in a highest level prince dynast amir is a hero God bless him for his effort..
Thanks Dynasty for showing wat our people go through slavery so full of pain 😭😭😭🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
That was an epic journey for all who watched. The historian whose name we should all have was a complete historian, there was nothing ordinary about him. Wonderful really, yet still heartbreaking. We give thanks 🙏🏾
I used to visit those islands when i was in Sierra Leone, (Bonce, Tasso , and Pepel Island,) respectively.
Excellent! I just want to add that transporting Africans from Africa was outlawed in the United States in 1808.
Ann yes, but that doesn’t mean the importation stopped in 1808 though.
Ann it was outlawed but the law closed their eyes to new ships coming in. #Knowthyhistory
Wow. I learned more from this gentleman than I did in my history classes. 👏 👏 👏
I just recently discovered I am a descendent of the Mende and Temne tribes of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 making this trip is epic
Black Love Travels The World go get your citizenship bro
mustapha camara I’m trying to figure out where I start to begin
DNA canNOT reliably tell you ethnicities!
@@blacklovetravelstheworld6394Brother begin by doing your DNA test and go from there. The Sierra Leonean government is accepting African Ancestry test results. I am Temne and I am in the process of getting my Sierra Leone citizenship.
He's so right... When I did my African Ancestry DNA test I got both Mende in Sierra Leone and Mandinka in Senegal.... Thank you for sharing. This is a gold mine.
U are doing a great deal of exploring the continent.
Big Ups Prince.. Im half Sierra Leonan. Im a Sesay. My Grandfather was also a Chief in Batkanu... Very Proud of That. Will visit again soon...Great video man. Bless you ma man
Great to have you in Sierra Leone Dynasty.
I did my African Ancestry DNA test. My matrilineal line traced back to the Mende people. This is inspirational. Thanks Dynast!!
He is a very intelligent Historian!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for uploading Prince Dynast...👍🏽
You are welcome
One of ur best video in terms of info.
Great educational piece. The guide was very thorough. Thanks Prince Dynast!!!
Such a beautiful place at the same time.
This young guy is so great he no everything to the top well done young 👨 man 😍 ✋
@3:35 I look forward to seeing Mende areas(e. g. Bo)
Pls what’s the guide’s full name? Wow!!! Very smart man who knows his onions! My Nigerians would say “the man sabi book well o!”
He needs a public social media account! He needs to write a book! He needs to do more media work! He needs his own UA-cam channel too!!
I'll get his full name
Francis Momoh
He's an expert. I can visualise his explanation.
Excellent guide!! Nuff said !
My beautiful country
Excellent and insightful walk back through our past. Really enjoyed the talk from your host, please give him my blessings and to all the crew that assisted you in bringing this vital piece of information to us.
I tested 100% Mende of Sierra Leone by African Ancestry. So we are FAMILY! I am glad I came across this video on Oct. 8, 2021. Welcome to the Family Prince!
Email me uhuru@searchforuhuru.com
I am so impressed with both young men ,this is simply a remarkable & an invaluable Lecture . #Inspirational #Educational #History #Ancestors #BlackPower .One Love
I will definitely be incorporating this video into my lesson plans.
Wow! That was a huge place, I learnt many things by this well informed historian of the Sierra Leone Ministry Of Tourism, oh how I wish that this place is restored, so that, lest we not forget our horrific history, so that it will never repeat and happen again , God forbid! Thanks Dynasty and Thxs to the historian✌🏾
Brother U are doing great job keep it up guy's 🇸🇱 God bless Africans
Great video brother. Did you experience any form of ancestral memory while being in Sierra Leone?
My mom's side is Mende...this kind of video makes my eyes water
100% Mende for my family
Thanks for sharing and i appreciate all the knowledge is giving learning about the ancestors and slavery its so painful
Your latest interview brought me here, exciting, thanks for documenting for us Fam👍🏾💯‼️ we need it, so we can make plans to visit also.
Very informative tour. The tour guide is very knowledgeable. A great presentation that gives a very real feeling of connection to what transpired here. Thanks for sharing Prince Dynast.
Great video... Bro thank you for sharing this
Welcome
Sierra Leone is beautiful. I have Mende roots. The Mende are part of the Mane from Mali.
I'm learning and loving it. Bro Dynast...you can't wear your fancy shoes to certain places Bro🤭😂🤣😭
Lol
This is called Prince Dynast /Style . It is befitting !!
The prince wears some of finest African cloth I have ever seen... But it's true what you say...😂😂😂 about the shoes
Real deal ,a capable historian.
LET IT GO Just focus on your journey
There is a place in Maryland Lagos, called MENDE
The government should rebuild this place. It help to improve our tourist attraction.
Thank you brother all the best. 🌍
Bro U you're funny! The best handshake!
The Slave Trade & the atrocities during & thereafter ( stories ) are consistent throughout West Africa. It is incredible how our people preserved the History ,structures & artifacts ! Respects.
The mane people later married the locals and integrated and they lived Peacefully in S/L.
It look like u just had the longest handshake of your life 🙂😄😄 good job bro.
Nice one!
I'm supposed to be 26% mende according to DNA land.
mad blackstar try africanancestry.com
mad blackstar that means we are related 💪
DNA canNOT reliably give you ethnicity!
@@yangabeng you need to do some research again...
True stuff about the mane people
The Man,our brotha our historian is a "genius".BLACK POWER🌠🌠🎆✨🎇🌍👊
I am from esanland, the ishan tribe in southern Nigeria, hinterlands. I was in Liberia, and the same native word for "come" in my dialect is the same with the Mandingo tribe in Liberia and Sierra Leone. West and central africa is one big ass family. Have u observed that we all swallow our starch? Nigeria has eba,fufu, Ghana has fufu, Cameron has fufu corn, Liberia has dumboe.
True stuff
Dynast Uhuru, I just came off a UA-cam page who suggested that he doesnt see the need of African Americans moving back to Africa because they feel they are not wanted there by Africansmplus Africa has a whole other bunch of problems. I commented that it doesnt hurt to visit or be open minded and see another side of your blood culture. The black Americans went into an ambush of saying that Africans hate them etc etc...i don't understand where this is coming from and why they were very arrogant towards me. Can we have a topic or discussion to crush this image of negativity amongst us.
Good request, however just remember you can always start one too. I'd watch it. Peace
Weve been having this discussion since 2014
@Teetee Me, Dynasty and many other people have covered that topic already. Just do a quick search and you will get many results documenting how welcoming the continental Africans are to those from the diaspora.
Officer Of The Damn Law PBWW Channel you talk as if the American system is not demonic too. I have read countless shootings in schools, in various public places...i also just watched a video about a bright young lady who graduated, started a business of her own in beauty, had high expectations and then got shot to death in her own neighborhood so which place is more demonic if you want to categorise.
Tyrone thanks I will do because I know most Africans are not like that...my mother who is Caribbean can attest to that likewise so many of my aunties who married Africans and are still living in Africa with their husbands.
My good brother Prince, I love the clothing that you are wearing all the best to you and yours.🌍
May all our ancestors that went through slavery soul rest in power.
Thank you very much brother Dynast
It's important we tell our story because nobody will tell it for us and it is good we pass it down to the next generation.
The mistake that most of our forefathers and grandparents did was not to tell us about slavery because it was painful to them and also they thought they were protecting us.
Instead most of us were taught a watered down history of slavery in school colonial curriculum.
This should never happen again so we have to start appreciating one another.
Also important we learn about black people successes too.
Fabulous Video.
I have Temne roots in Sierra Leone.
memyself4ever1 I’m a Temne from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱.
@@nancybarrie1864 You live there currently in Sierra Leone? Looks like we have a connection.
Hi. I hope you’re doing great. I’m in Florida right now . But I know we must be connected some how.
@@nancybarrie1864 Exactly.
memyself4ever1 go get your passport bro
The Island of the Shebro people.
exactly! so which means most of the slaves from Sierra Leone most have come from the Shebro and Limba people which also means your ancestors could have been Shebro or Limba people
@@AmedmackieTV lol🤣🤣🤣
Amed Mackie kissy, Mende, Temne as well. What they aren’t telling is that Shebros were also collaborators and the most westernized which solidified strong ties w/the Krios that came to settle Freetown. To this day many Shebros have married into Krio families and their language and culture is vanishing.
freetownmkteer I am here i am not vanishing😁
@@freetownmkteer thank you for the information, I will do more research to broaden my knowledge on this subject
This historians narrated a fact which was an absolute truth, in terms of resistance some of the natives in Sierra Leone put up against enslavement. In Ghana there is minority tribe of Adas a coastal town people who resisted and refused to raid their kinsmen . They are together Ga-Adangbe minority tribe in Ghana who defeated the Ashanti empire engaged in the slave trade. These people are the natives of Accra and Ada.
Just found out that I am Mende from Sierra Leone. Have anyone on here
been to Sierra Leone? I want to go but a bit scared after reading the
uk travel advisory? Just need some advice if anyone has made the trip?
Great information
Welcome home bro😊 You went to our country.
This Man is a living library.
We have to preserve our history. We can learn from the. Ghanaian.
Happy you are going! The Mende are just like the Gola and Vai people of Liberia
The mendes,golas and the konos and the vais they're derived from the manika tribe from what is now called Mali.
Abbas Saquee Gola is not a Mandinka tribe. It is an Atlantic language. It’s is closer to Temne and Limba and Wolof. The language is very distinct from Mande languages oo
@@abbassaquee9536 Also the Kpelle of Liberia.
@@ZoluXolu I what I am talking about because I'm 100% African born in Africa and Africa is born in me furthermore, I am a speaker of the kono language the vias ,golas , mandingos to certain extent the kpelles and lomas the gabandis and the lokos not forgetting the mendes when around these speakers of these languages can understand most of what they're taking. Gola has no similarities with Temme or Limba Temme, Limba and Soso are similar.
Abbas Saquee you can speak Gola? You will know that Gola is very different from Vai and Mende and Bandi. For example. Gola has many prefixes such as ó, nyá, ké, má, é, yé, and kō. Mende languages do not have that. The grammar alone is very different from Mande languages. Even if you do research online you will see that Gola is a Mel-Atlantic Language like Temne, and Kissi, and Limba
The locals Shebros intermarried with the Europeans for centuries on Bunce island. Then the mixed families were the ones who were a good leveraging point.
They also married with the Krios.
I never knew the shebro people leave in Bunce island what I kn is Bonth island people should know the different between Bunce and Bonth island thoes are two different islands Bonth island is located in the east part of the country and while bunce island is located in the north part of the country if I may not mistaken
Rice and also home - made alchohol . This place should not be taken down we need to have it for history purposes.
That what am talking about but both the present and past government give deaf ears to this place and this place is even greater than the gold coast of Ghana according to history but look at this place it doesn't even look as a history place and yet they want to bring Africa Americans tell me were do u want to show them as history it a big shame
The tour guide is very knowledgeable . I don’t understand, these governments in Africa are still allowing the people and resources to be exploited. There are people working in the diamond mines, gold mines,etc. that are being underpaid and often too young to do that type of work.
I hope this island is being protected because it’s clear that it’s not being maintained.
Did the African recaptives from Nigeria and other places, also come through Bunce? The ones from the intercepted ships by the British.
Uhuru, pls this has been a personal interest of mine for over 25 year.
Helen those captured from other parts of West Africa were all taken to Sierra Leone whenever ships were intercepted....later, some found their way back to their homelands eg Nigeria; in Lagos Island, certain families are descended from the re captives, you can tell by the European names they bear eg Da Costa, Da Silva, Fenandez, Macauley, Savage, Randle, Cole, Da Rochas, Johnson etc.
@@nigerdeltamirrortv9311 the Da Rochas and others with Portuguese names werent recaptures. They were Free Brazilians or Freed and deported slaves from Brazil who came back in the 1800s after the Male Revolt

Where can I get that outfit?
Lol my man says I'm bougie. There is nothing wrong with that. It's just shows that you've an appreciation for being able to live in something conducive. We all aspire a bougie lifestyle, one way or the other.
Really? Lol.
Those men carrying Dynast are representative of the masses. They're not bougie. Just hustling to survive.
@@person-xd3wb Yes, really.
Aspire is not synonymous to being bougie. Maybe those men are not bougie because they lack the financial capacity to be bougie.
Hi bro
Who branded Prince Amur with so many tattoos and what do they mean on his body
Dynaste, please check the information the guide gave about why the slave merchant, John Newton, wrote Amazing Grace. Although the information is partly correct, my understanding is that he sexual abused children for many years and continued to do so right up to when he wrote the song.
Sounds about right
But you did not disagree that he turn around to become an advocate for the abolition of the barbaric trade ..I think that is the core matter in the context the brilliant historian was explaining and you are saying things that you can’t present facts on and not even related to the subject... We must not make light of some white people who had a change of heart and did something about it..
What type of DNA test did you take to find out your ancestry? I want to find out mine this year.
Hey there is no yatch.There is a canoe boat.
This is a shame to the sierra Leone government they don't even maintain the place look at d gold coast of Ghana no wonder why most Africa Americans went to Ghana because the government take great care of that place
Fatima Sesay True but remember Sierra Leone also had a civil war, which they are still coming out off on many levels over the past decade. That wasn’t a priority and shouldn’t even have been.
Plus the Dutch forts in Ghana were protected during colonial times.
@@Jaylove777 Yes I kn what sierra Leone has gone through but at least this place should been taking care of it holds the greatest history in dat country
Fatima Sesay, seriously? The great history of that country? Are you kidding right? Because that was only a spot in their whole history including the others African nations.african American superiority complex about Africa giving a shit about slavery?
@@thisisme5241 and it not a history?
Fatima for you to understand slavery was a single rain drop on the whole African history and one of the least things o think about.
That's a huge tree behind you all, what kind of tree is it??
So how this trade started? Merchants from Portugal, Spain, England etc were looking to make a profit, to trade European goods like guns, ammunition, tools alcohol, textiles and other factory produced goods overseas for other things. The Indians had an abundance of spices and textiles, China had silk, tea and porcelain and so on. The Africans wanted the European goods, but they had little to nothing to offer in exchange, so they sold their own people. Really a terrible result mainly for Europeans. How many lands they lost? Jamaica, Haiti, most of the Caribbean and so on which are now African countries. Only if Africans had more to offer instead of their own people. Yeah, if there is anybody to blame, is not the traders trying to make a profit, they would have gladly exchanged their goods for something else that was profitable, but the ones capturing people and selling them in the first place. In fact it was Europeans that put a stop to it, and there were always strong European voices against slave trade and slavery. Westerners always had self control, that's why they were so successful. But just like now, with the fight against corporate greed, there is not an easy fight. The Africans if anything were against the ending of that trade as it left them without a source of income, or the main source of income, not for the poor, but for the powerful.
Look for the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
OMG Why has no one built a simple boardwalk over that muck at the boat landing!? Carrying your passenger on your back killed everyone's dignity, I'm really not trying to be biased but come on.
We could connect and help them build a better reality
Tom Cunningham go build it then.... ask why you have not done so
@@royaltymediatrendingworldw5688 why do u think Africa Americans are going to Ghana it because the place is built this place should hv been touris destination but look at the place I bet u no Africa American can go there and understand anything because the place is bushy it a shame to the sierra Leone government
@@royaltymediatrendingworldw5688 Are you crazy. Why the he'll would I go to Africa to throw some wooden pallets over muck!? Are you suggesting you cannot do this simple thing for yourselves? Why is your first response that someone should do it for you?
@@winstonwest3313 I now believe they don't want help.
Africans have that peaceful calm demeanor energy. They don’t sweat the small stuff. The Americans have the opposite energy, like the would go off if something didn’t go there way type of energy.
Search For Uhuru, you have a MENDE ancestry, that means you and I are related 💪🏿
Dynast African property is not the property of us Black Americans Black people can't even own land in Africa so why would I call it home I wasn't born there my ancestors were.
DYNAST what this guy is saying is very true when you visit Ghana go to a place called Nzulezo, 186 miles from Accra to the western region of Ghana and you will find a stilt village of people that originated from Mali who ran away from war and settled in Ghana in the 1500s. They are still there today. Of course, they are Ghanaians now but they know their ancestry. www.cnn.com/travel/article/nzulezo-ghana-stilt-village-intl/index.html.
This Bunce Island slavery operation was not a big operation as compared to what was going on in Ghana, I am not sugar coating anything. Just the facts.
The majority of slaves came from sierra Leone because they were professionals in agriculture and other African science
@@blazingbomba6137 LMAO!!!!!
