People gather to watch as offerings are made at the base of Lelɛɛ Wurache's tree on the outskirts of Dompofie. Kwasi Millah (seated, center) holds a glass as Daniel Kofi Nakpah pours drink in preparation for the offering of libations. Dompofie chief Tolɛɛ Emmanuel Dwiri stands far right (blue cloth). The occasion was prompted by the request of the Banda Research Project group to conduct archaeological excavations at Kuulo Kataa. Outskirts of Dompofie, June, 1995.
