Loron people
The Loron people, variously named Lorhon, Tenbo, Teguessie and Thuuna,〔Leenhouts, Ingeborg C. and Ingrid Person. 1977. Esquisse phonologique du Loron. Annales de l’Université d’Abidjan, série H, Linguistique 10: 53-82.〕 who are located in the forested savannah region of northeast Côte d’Ivoire and southwest Burkina Faso, came originally from the Bouna region of Côte d’Ivoire. There are approximately 10,000 Loron people. Their language, which is called Téén, is 45% cognate with that of the Kulango language in the Bouna area, although their culture reflects that of the Lobi people.
== Background ==
Around 250 years ago, when many Loron people were killed in warfare with other tribal groups from the south of Côte d’Ivoire, the Loron fled the Bouna region. They moved north along the Mounhoun/Black Volta river, and then west, and settled in the area that is now the town of Gaoua, Burkina Faso, about 100 miles (160 km) from Bouna, Côte d’Ivoire.
When the Lobi people moved into the Gaoua area from Ghana in the late 18th century, the Loron, like most other smaller ethnic groups in the region, adopted many of the customs of the dominant and more numerous Lobis. Although, to this day, the Loron people are still considered the ‘Owners of the Land’ in the Gaoua area.
To avoid conflict with their neighbouring tribes the relatively timid Loron went in search of new pastures. Most of the Loron people gradually migrated south, to the mountains which form the border between Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire, just south of the Lobi town of Kampti. Approximately 100 years ago a large group of Loron people moved further south, out of the mountainous region, and settled in a more fertile area in Côte d’Ivoire between Doropo and Tehini. This all happened, of course, before country demarcation lines were created by the French colonialists.
