TL guide. An introductory Today’s Liberia guide, not news reporting.
The Kissi people are one of Liberia's sixteen recognised indigenous ethnic groups. They primarily reside in Lofa County, with communities also extending into neighbouring Guinea and Sierra Leone.
This ethnic group is traditionally noted for its agricultural practices, particularly rice farming. Each of Liberia's indigenous groups possesses a distinct language, history, and unique customs.
This brief overview serves as an initial guide to the Kissi's place within the national fabric. It is important to remember that traditions can vary between communities and families within the group.
