REPERTOIRE · HISTORICAL CONTEXT FIGURE

Samory Touré

A nineteenth-century figure presented for wider Mandé/Dyula, Muslim, commercial and colonial context — with no assumed Kouanda kinship.

CONTEXT · NOT GENEALOGY

Why Samory appears in KOUANDA

Samory Touré is not presented as a Kouanda ancestor, Kouanda relative or representative of the Yarsé people. His record is a historical reference point for the nineteenth-century Mandé/Dyula world and for political, commercial and colonial transformations that form the regional background to several exhibitions.

EXPLICIT BOUNDARY: No Kouanda family relationship is asserted. His presence is contextual and documented as such.

The Museum places him in a wider Muslim and Mandé contextual hall specifically so chronological, religious or commercial proximity cannot be mistaken for a family relationship.
