Leo

Léo lies in Sissili country south of the Mossi plateau, among the farming settlements of the Nuna. Their language, Nuni, belongs to the Gurunsi group. Nuna artisans of Léo carve wooden masks, using the wood of the silk-cotton tree among other materials. Shea trees also grow in the surrounding savanna, and the butter extracted from their nuts supplies food and other household needs. Léo shares this country with Sissala and other neighbouring communities.
