A Malian security source at the site of the massacre said that "a Dogon village has been virtually wiped out".
Dogon hunters are part of the Bambara, which makes up the largest Mandé people ethnic group in Mali.
Clashes between the Dogon and the Fulani over access to land and water have become more frequent over the last few months.
