Fali people

[4] The Fali in Cameroon have been described as being centered on Garoua as well as the rocky plateaus and peaks of the Adamawa mountains in the country's north.

[4][5][6] The Fali are sometimes referred to as the Kirdi, meaning "pagan," a term given by the neighboring Muslim Fulani; after they fought against the jihadists and rejected Islam.

[2] Major crops include millet, chickpeas, peanuts (groundnuts), squash, tobacco, okra, and cotton.

[11] The Fali are exogamous, patrilineal, and hierarchical, with society being made up of clans with distinct territories and chiefs, and tracing their origin to a common ancestor.

It has been identified as monotheistic,[2] involving belief in a creator god, Muttaf, and a mother goddess, Ona, the Earth.
