Folklore in Venezuela

The earliest inhabitants of Venezuela were Indians, who were divided into tribes and scattered in different regions according to language and customs. Their production and life are completely different from those of other Venezuelans. Indian tribe is the basic unit of consanguineous society, and the leader of the tribe is the chief. The most popular religions are fetishism and yellow religion. Relatively stable tribes are built in villages, ranging from thousands of people to hundreds of people. Some tribes have hundreds of people living in a big thatched cottage.

Marriage customs are different. Some tribes have polygamy, and wives are equal in law. They cultivate their own land. Some tribes are divided into several matrilineal groups, and only girls get adult gifts. When you get married, give a bride price to your mother or uncle. The most distinctive festival in Venezuela is a religious festival for black people. Black people living in the west celebrated St. Benedict's Day. Saint Benedict is a black saint, so it is also called "Holy Black Day".
