Kisi

Back to all glossary items

An ethno-linguistic group living in the east of Sierra Leone on the border with Guinea and Liberia and with significant populations in both those countries. With the Bullom (q.v.) they have a claim to be the oldest inhabitants in the area, and ancient stone sculptures called pomdo (pl. pomtan) found in the ground in their present or former areas of settlement are generally attributed to the Kisi or to groups from whom they are descended.
