ASHANTI Tribe

Ashanti The Ashanti people are found the modern country of Ghana. They have been a powerful group in this part of Africa for over 300 years.

The Ashanti believe that their kingdom was founded with the help of a holy man who produced a Golden Stool from the heavens and gave it to the first Ashanti king.

The Stool came to symbolize Ashanti power and the belief that the kingdom will last as long as the golden stool remains in the hands of the Ashanti king.

The traditional Ashanti religion is centered on a supreme god, or Nayme. His many children, the Abosom, represent all the natural powers and forces in the world. The traditional Ashanti believe that all living things have souls. They also believe that witches, demon spirits, and fairies have powers in their lives. This traditional belief is called animism.

Ancestors are given great respect, and there are several family rituals for births, puberty, marriage, and death. Some Ashanti also practice Christianity and Islam. There are also a large number of Muslims. Kente cloth: in which the differing colors and patterns tell the story of a family or group.

Likes so many other places in Africa, the movement of people has resulted in a great deal of diversity in nearly all aspects of life among the Ashanti.
