People
Who they are
The Dyan live in the Diébougou area of southwestern Burkina Faso, and many have facial scars that identify them. The fertile land supports farming, and many young people go to work in Ivory Coast. The family, clan and village each have their own chief, and each village chooses a spirit to whom it offers sacrifices. There is a church among the Dyan, which has grown very slowly. The New Testament in Dyan was published in 2024.
