Tiv culture is rich and interesting. The music and dance is unique and exciting. Tiv artists and dancers have represented Nigeria in world cultural expositions. The "Swange" dance music and dance is the hallmark of any Tiv cultural celebration.
To preserve Tiv culture, documentation in writing is necessary. Teaching Tiv-American children in summer camps and trips to Gboko and Tiv villages are also essential. MUTA has initiated a program to build the largest library of Tiv written history, documented folktales, recorded music tapes and video, arts and craft, and dance and fashion. The budget to successfully launch this program in July 2000 is $50,000. MUTA is seeking for partnership, sponsorship, and grants to launch this project.
