Alatangana is one of two creator deities of the Kono people of Guinea;[1] the other is Sa. Alatangana came to the world of Sa, took soil from a swamp to create land, and then placed vegetation on it.[1] He fell in love with Sa's daughter, and asked Sa if he could marry her. Sa refused, but Alatangana eloped with her anyway[clarification needed], and they had seven sons and seven daughters.[1]
