Gaoua
Gaoua is a market town in southern Burkina Faso known for its superstitious values and customs. The population, at last estimate, rested at 30,931 (2012 est.) 〔(World Gazetteer ), Retrieved on June 17, 2008〕 Located in the red earth, green hills, and fast flowing streams of southwestern Burkina Faso, Gaoua is the capital of Poni Province and forms a sort of capital for the sacred rites and bush lore of the Lobi peoples. According to local myth, Gaoua was founded when the Lobi migrated across from northern Ghana where they found the Gan people peoples occupying the territory. As a result, they named the trek across to Gaoua ''Gan-houo'' meaning "route of the Gan people".〔Manson, K., Knight, J. (2006), ''Burkina Faso'', p.226, Bradt Travel Guides, The Globe Pequot Press Inc., Retrieved on June 17, 2008〕 Attractions in the town include a sacred grove of trees, a museum and caves. There is also a mosque on elevated ground near the centre. The Gaoua Catholic parish Church of the Sacred Heart will be the cathedral for the newly erected Catholic Diocese of Gaoua.〔http://press.catholica.va/news_services/bulletin/news/28470.php?index=28470&lang=en〕 ==References==
