Forgotten Aspects of Epie Culture examined elements of the cultural life of the Epie people of Bayelsa State, Nigeria, that had either fallen into neglect or undergone transformation. Using oral interviews with elders, ethnographic fieldwork, and British colonial archival materials, the research traced how traditions of origin, migration accounts, and marital practices shaped Epie identity across generations. Informants recounted multiple narratives of migration from Benin, neighboring Ijaw territories, and internal dispersals within the Epie Creek, each account revealing the adaptive strategies of a people negotiating continuity and change. Marriage practices illustrated both cohesion and conflict widow inheritance, cousin unions requiring ritual atonement, informal cohabitation, and the more widely recognized marriage by consent. Some customs, such as storytelling, communal kinship ties, and origin traditions, underscored resilience and cultural pride, while others female circumcision and restrictive widowhood rites were identified as harmful practices increasingly questioned by the community itself. The findings highlighted the fluidity of Epie culture, showing how interaction with neighboring groups and colonial intervention influenced both material and non-material traditions. Documentation of these aspects not only preserved valuable cultural memory but also provided a framework for evaluating which elements should be safeguarded for future generations and which should be reformed in the interest of social well-being. By  looking at the cultural change within historical and ethnographic contexts, the research illuminated the balance between preservation and transformation in the lived experiences of the Epie people.
