A Brief Overview of Zambia

The main exports of the country were copper, ivory, and slaves before colonization. The colonial period saw ethnically different people brought together by economic interests. With independence, institutions to protect and promote Zambia’s culture were created, including the National Heritage Conservation Commission.
