Kwanzaa is a holiday that was first created and celebrated in the United States, so it does not represent an indigenous tradition of Africa.

Kwanzaa was created by Maulana Karenga in 1966, and the holiday was embraced by Black pride and Black nationalism groups in the United States at that time. It was intended to celebrate black culture, history, and identity, and provide an alternative to mainstream holidays of the dominant culture.
