Northern Volta basin and Yatenga
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Kurumba were a major pre-Mossi population of Yatenga, known in Mossi usage as the Fulse. The extract associates them linguistically with Gurunsi peoples and describes their political formation at Lurum as incorporating elements of centralized power based on divine kingship. In Mossi kingdoms, especially Yatenga, they became part of the indigenous people of the land.

Le récit
The Kurumba are identified as one of the principal pre-Mossi populations of Yatenga. The Mossi called them Fulse, and they belonged to the communities classified as the people of the land. Their presence was therefore incorporated into the political and ritual foundations of Mossi rule rather than erased from the social order.
The extract suggests linguistic affinities between the Kurumba and Gurunsi-speaking peoples. It also distinguishes cultural classification from linguistic classification, warning that related languages do not necessarily indicate identical cultural or political organization. The Kurumba are treated as a specific population within the wider diversity of the Volta basin.
In the kingdom of Lurum, the Kurumba established a political formation containing elements of centralized power. This organization was initially based on the idea of divine kingship, making Lurum an exception to the broader pattern of non-centralized societies discussed for many Volta basin populations.
