The Twa (also Cwa, OvaTwa or Batwa—plural, and OmuTwa or Mutwa—singular) are a group of indigenous Central African foragers tribes. These cultural groups were formerly called Pygmies by European writers, but the term is no longer preferred based on its cultural and geographic inaccuracy, as well as being seen as pejorative. Cultural groups are being reclassified by themselves based on their function in society, lineage, and land ties.[1]
