PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The Hutus and the Tutsis were the two different tribes fighting during the genocide of 1994.
The Tutsi are tall, warrior people who normally herd cattle and farm. The amount of money they make from herding cattle has held power over the Hutu. The Tutsi king was overthrown. After troops withdrew and later thousands of Tutsi were killed in countries near by. Two new countries were produced through the ethnic and economic differences between Tutsi and hutu Rwanda, dominated by the Hutus and Burundi ran by the Tutsi.

The Hutu have always been noticed as second class citizens in both countries. They are in the majority of the Rwandan people. There are around 10 million Hutu in the Rwanda and Burundi area. Even tho they are the majority the Tutsi have always prevented the Hutu from getting major roles in government. Most of the Hutu people believe in Christianity due to influence from the Middle East and Europe.
Some of the indigenous people have different beliefs based on tradition and ancestral spirits. One of the most common beliefs was a belief in a man named Imaana, a Hutu god. The majority of the Hutu speak the same Bantu languages, this can include Kinyarnanda, Kirundi, and Swahili. Some also speak French influenced by early European settlers
