Location and Context

Countries
Takum LGA, Taraba State, Nigeria
Location Description

"[Kuteb] live mainly in what is now Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. There are two or three hamlets of Kuteb speakers in Cameroun. Their area covers a rough triangle with its apex at Takum, the major commercial center (10° E, 7° N)... The Gamana River cuts through the southern part of the area, and the Donga runs north and south across the east side. Bordering the Cameroun mountains, the Kuteb area is typical savannah (lots of grass and small trees) dotted with hills, which, incidentally, have provided protection in recent history during inter-ethnic warfare. The nickname ande ti rikwen (‘mountain people’) perhaps developed during this period."
