    The Mossi are a Gur ethnic group originally from modern Burkina Faso, mainly the Volta River basin.
    According to tradition, the Mossi derive from the marriage of a princess Mamprusi and a hunter Mandé. Yennenga was a warrior princess, daughter of a Mamprusi king in eastern Ghana. While exploring her kingdom astride her, she lost her way and was saved by Rialé, a lonely Mandé hunter. They married and gave birth to the first authentic Mossi, Ouedraogo, who is recognized as the father of the Mossi people.
