The Kusasis: A short History

Abstract

That part of the Kusasi Tribe which lives in English Territory occupies the fertile lands which lie north of the Gambaga Scarp and East of the Red Volta. Unlike some of their neighbours further west they are blessed with an ample food supply, while their cattle are considered among the best in the country. The area these people inhabit is known as the Kusasi District, though actually now-a-days, owing mostly to immigration from French Country, the Kusasis only from about two thirds of the total population and even many of these are only Kusasis in name.
