Ndate Yalla Mbodj (1810-1860) was the last lingeer, or queen, of the Waalo, which was a kingdom in what is now in northwest Senegal.

Biography

On October 1, 1846, Ndate Mbodj was crowned Queen of the Waalo, succeeding her sister, Njeumbeaut Mbodj.^[1] Mbodj developed the Waalo's "women's army as one of the most formidable forces to recon with in her reign."^[1]

Mbodj fought to keep the Waalo sovereign in their own lands. She was against French colonization of Senegal.^[1] In 1847, she prevented free passage of the Sarakolé on her land as well.^[1] When Moors started to "encroach on her territory," she also fought their intrusion.^[1]

Mbodj was defeated in a battle against the French colonialist army, led by Louis Faidherbe in 1855.^[1]

During her life and afterwards, Mbodj was a symbol of resistance against French colonialism.^[2]
