This study explores the distinctive customs and traditions of the Banyekigezi, an indigenous community from Uganda’s Kigezi region. Historically separate from other Ugandan groups, they played a crucial role in the Nyabingi rebellion against colonial rule. Despite this resistance, the Banyekigezi preserved their unique cultural practices, including tools and rituals with deep symbolic meaning. The research focused on how the cultural practices shaped the lives of Nyabingi followers, particularly during the colonial era. It examines aspects of Banyekigezi life such as transportation, entertainment, communication, warfare, household items, medicine, housing, and fashion. The Banyekigezi relied on a specific method of carrying people called “engozi” and used traditional instruments for music and communication. Their daily lives centered around tools and utensils made from natural materials. Healing was based on herbal remedies, and their homes were simple structures. Their clothing and ornaments held significant cultural and spiritual meaning. However, colonial rule, especially the 1912 Witchcraft Ordinance, severely damaged Banyekigezi culture. The study suggests strengthening institutions and raising awareness to appreciate the Banyekigezi’s indigenous way of life. In essence, the article highlights the rich cultural heritage of the Banyekigezi and the urgent need to protect and promote it.
