The Kusasis-A Short Histroy (2)

It is expected that gradually the remainder will come and
do likewise, but as just mentioned, Bawku himself is
large~ Kusasi and almost one of themselves, so that one
has to a.void plaoing too much signifioanoe on the aotion
of these Chiefs in coming to him.
Temple says in his "Native raoes and their rUlers"
that when foreigners invade a country one of three things
invariably happens -
1. Th~ natives of the cOill1try become absorbed by the
invaders.
2. The invaders beoome absorbed by the natives of the
oounilry.
3_ The natives of the oountry regain their freedom and
expel the invaders.
The first mf the three happened in ~amprussi,
while
in Kusasi the third nearly happened - did happen once or
twlcein faot - but later the second process started.
Some of the 100a1 Mamprussis are Kusasis in , all but
~
name, and this~partioularlY illustrated in the case of
the SUb-Chief of Kuka. and his people ..
It is to be hoped therefore, that in these early
days of Native Administration, with the Na at the head of
affairs, allowanoes will be made for the Kusasis and that
'they vdll not be asked to run before they oan walk.
