who claim this identity. It is of course possible that<br />

names that are transmitted through the patriline allow<br />

some groups of individuals to link themselves to ancient<br />

pre-dogon populations. Today, there are still families<br />

living in the southeastern Seno who wear the name Ganame<br />

<strong>and</strong> who claim to be Tellem (page 24). In Statuaire<br />

<strong>Dogon</strong>, Hélène Leloup states having spoken to people in<br />

the Seno plain (Yoro, Dinangourou, Sarou, Koro) who<br />

wear the name Ganame. She was told that they practise<br />

yearly agrarian rites <strong>and</strong> still gather at ancestral altars.<br />

que la transmission patrilinéaire d’un nom permette à<br />

certains de se rattacher à de vieilles populations prédogon.<br />

Cela semble bien être le cas de certaines familles<br />

du sud-est du Séno qui portent le patronyme Ganamé et<br />

qui s’identifient aux Tellem (page 24). Dans Statuaire<br />

<strong>Dogon</strong>, Hélène Leloup dit avoir rencontré des Ganamé<br />

dans des villages de la plaine (Yoro, Dinangourou,<br />

Sarou et Koro). Elle ajoute « qu’ils reviennent en pèlerinage<br />

aux autels ancestraux qui jouent un rôle de contrôle<br />

des récoltes à certaines périodes de l’année ».<br />
