At the present time, our members who wish to receive a Balanta name from the B’alante N’dang elders can complete the form which will be submitted to the Bam’Faba council for consideration. This will initiate the process. The Bam’Faba council will then send instructions on what to do next. Understand, rituals require offerings to the ancestors which the applicant will be required to pay for. The fees may very. For those that cannot travel to their ancestral homeland, this is the best, most authentic process, for our members to receive a Balanta name.
