===Origins=== According to oral tradition, the Mossi come from the marriage of a Mamprusi/Dagomba princess, Yennenga, and a [[Mandé]] hunter.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}} [[Yennenga]] was a warrior princess, daughter of a king, [[Naa Gbewaa]], of present-day northern [[Ghana]]. Gbewaa's tomb is located in [[Pusiga (district)|Pusiga]] in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The story has it that while exploring her kingdom on horseback, she lost her way and was rescued by Rialé, a solitary Mandé hunter.
