| Dear Mr. Chris, I'll suggest that you do some deep research on your subject matter before publishing it. Any first grade pupil will tell you that the images on this site are not the ashanti tribe. The Akans or for that matter, Ashantis, were the first africans to weave cloths - the famous Kente - and are usually ornated with gold bracelets and beads. To portray ashantis like this adds to the 'usual' ignorance or deliberate ignorance on the part of so-called anthropologiest or historians to twist the Western world's image of the African. Masai's are surely Africans from the east of Africa but surely not the Ashanti tribe from Ghana, West Africa. Go back to the classroom and learn more before coming on the net. FREEDOM COMES WITH UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE. History can be illuminating and challenging when learned well but could be dangerous when badly learned and twisted. | K Yirenkyi | Ghana | 2 | |
