Berber identity

Berber identity refers to the sense of belonging and cultural pride among the Berber people, an indigenous group native to North Africa. It encompasses shared language (Berber or Amazigh languages), traditions, history, and a collective experience of preserving their heritage despite centuries of external influences and historical challenges. Modern Berber identity emphasizes cultural recognition, rights, and the revival of their customs and language, which have often been marginalized. It’s a unifying identity rooted in a deep connection to their land, history, and unique cultural practices that distinguish them within the diverse tapestry of North African societies.
