AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This sketch of Mossi life is taken from a larger general work on the Negro peoples of the Sudan. It is divided into two sections: occupations and the family, public works and religion. Under the first section are included a brief historical sketch, and information on agriculture, diet, natural resources, domestic animals, pottery-making, smiths, stonework and other occupations. The second section describes the forms of the family found among the Mossi, and contains information on government, the Moro Naba, and various religious practices.
