This book is mainly based on the intangible heritage of Malawi, from cultural anthropology to archaeological studies. The book describes the Lambya ethnic group, who are based in the northern tip of Malawi, particularly in Chitipa district. It mainly outlines their customs, traditions and values. It is based on the live observation and participation of their daily values, customs and traditions. In some cases direct participant observation, which I carried out for a period of January 2008 - December 2012. The first part of this book is thus a description of what was observed and told to the author by the key informants for a period of five years. The accounts recorded in the early chapters of the book are mainly for the Lambya ethnic group, who in Chitipa largely resides in traditional authority Mwabulambya and Kameme, in which I have chosen to call the region as Lambya region as it used to be, before the name Chitipa came into use. This book is written for any reader who is interested in culture, history, anthropology, theology, tradition region, literature, folk knowledge and sociology at all levels. It can be used in primary, secondary and at tertiary level.
