The Sahafatra, also known as Safatra, are an ethnic group of Madagascar inhabiting the mountainous part of Atsimo Atsinanana region.[2]

Location

The Sahafatra are found mostly in the district of Vondrozo.[3]

Recognition

The Sahafatra like the Masikoro, Mikea and the Vorimo are not included in the 18 officially recognized tribes of Madagascar despite being a full-fledged ethnic group. They are considered as part of Tanala, Antesaka or Bara.[4]

History

A letter from De Faye in 1668 mentioned the Sahafatra in a conflict between them and the Antesaka.[5]

Sahafatra was one of the malagasy tribes independent from Hova rule[6]

They took part in the 1904-1905 revolt against French colonists.
