The Nafana are a Senufo people living in the north-west of Ghana and the north-east
of Côte d'Ivoire, in the area east of Bonduku. They number about 61000 and they speak Nafaanra, a Senufo language.The Nafana people relate that they come from Cote d'Ivoire, from a village called Kakala. According to Jordan (1978), their oral history says that some of their people are still there, and if they go back they won't be allowed to leave again. They arrived in the Banda area after the Ligbi people, who according to Stahl (2004) came from Bigu Begho, dit Bighu to the area in the early 17th century.
