Bapounou traditions record a migration from the south sometime before the 19th Century , as a result of wars somewhere between the Congo and Niari River . In the 19th century they gathered Rubber , and participated in the Slave trade, sending both their own and acquisitions from further inland to Loango and Fernan Vaz . In the present day, the Bapounou are noted for their cloth made of Palm fiber, and for Iron weaponry. The Bapounou were once called Bayaka by others, but they themselves consider this a pejorative.
