Ethnic Madagascar flag interactive t-shirts

Merina, Betsileo, Sakalava, Betsimisaraka, and 18 official ethnic groups — Madagascar's ethnic mosaic is one of the Indian Ocean world's most Austronesian-rooted cultural stories. Madagascar's ethnic heritage is one of the world's most remarkable origin stories — the Malagasy people descend from Austronesian seafarers who crossed the Indian Ocean over 2,000 years ago, blending with Bantu, Arab, and Indian communities. From the Merina kingdom that built one of Africa's most sophisticated pre-colonial states, to the coastal Sakalava, Betsileo, and Betsimisaraka peoples each carrying distinct royal traditions, Madagascar's ethnic story is one of extraordinary diversity. With a QR code that connects you to the proud Madagascar heritage, this collection of interactive t-shirts features flags of ethnic groups in Madagascar.
