Are mossi people ghanaians

The Mossi people as citizens of Ghana is an interesting issue in the history of Ghana.The Mossi people are mentioned in the records of the country preceeding the era of colonization of Ghana by British after several competitions between some colonial Powers, particularly in the northern sector of the country. This prompted me to believe that it was a very powerful tribe and several tribes originated from it because they claimed that they were also mossi people in the ancient times and that is why Historians identified the mossi people as ancestors of some ghanaian tribes today. What I have also observed is that we have read about several mossi clans in quite a number of tribes in the northern sector of the country., with the languages having changed slightly but similar to the mossi and dagomba languages.Those who claimed to have retained the Pure Mossi language today and said were Ghanaians whose hometowns and villages were in Ghana were said to have numbered nearly 11,000 in 1960 Ghana National Population Census records including mossi soldiers, police and other security personnel.If a mossi person says he is a Ghanaian,he simply means he is from any of the above historical background.Tribes that were ruled by mossi somewhere eventhough were not pure mossi regarded themselves as mossi people and are therefore not part of this Ghanaian mossi people on record
