The Baxaran of Maghan (Magahi: Maghan Audio file "Ma-ghan" not found) is one of the oldest Guang tribes of the old Dagbon Kingdom, Ghana. the oldest[1][2][3] and one of the most organised traditional states in Ghana founded by the Dagomba people (Dagbamba) in the 13th century. Since Ghana's independence in 1957, the Baxaran of Maghan has assumed a traditional, customary role in free association with the Anlo-Ewe, Asante Kingdom and the Kingdom of Dagbon .[4]
The Baxaran of Maghan was formed when Djathal and Nana Triban his descendants]] unified the Maghan and other related peoples who were ruled by decentralised chieftains known as Tindaamba similar to the Dagbon chieftaincy system and structure.[5] The antecedents of the Maghan people's migration from Sikasso to their present location in the old Dagbon Kingdom, remain largely elusive, paralleled by the ambiguous origins of the Djathal lineage. Presently, governance within Maghan entails a coalescence of authority between the Tindaamba and chiefs.The history of Maghan is complex and misconceptions often arise regarding the their origins and areas settlement since they are partly nomadic.
