GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In the tropical rain forests of southeastern Liberia, the Grebo peoples make their living through agriculture, fishing, hunting, and gathering. Rice is the principal crop, but cotton, okra, millet, and sorghum are also grown. The Grebo are ruled by a chief, who lives in absolute isolation. Grebo villages consist of cone cylinder huts grouped in family compounds around a central plaza. Today there are approximately three hundred thousand Grebo.
