The Lunda were a group of people living southwest of the Luba; the Chief of the Lunda gave his bracelet of power “rukan” to his daughter Lueji Naweej. Her brothers became furious and exiled themselves from the Kingdom and went on to found the Chokwe.
On his arrival in the land of the Lunda, Tshibinda Ilunga meets Queen Lueji Naweej and both fall immediately in love. Lueji is impressed with Tshibinda’s features and his princely garments. Like his father, Tshibinda was tall, dark skinned with a sharp nose; contrary to the indigenous Lunda and Luba people. Lueji invites Tshibinda and his suite to her court where they wed.
