The Kaonde
The Kaonde People can be found in Solwezi, Kasempa and Chizera districts of North Western Province and in Kaoma in the Western province. The Kaonde like the Lunda are the descendants of the famous Luba-Lunda Empire of Zaire. The Kaonde were among the first Zambian tribes to carry out the mining of copper and archaeological evidence at the Kansanshi Mine in Solwezi dating back to the iron age period proves this.
