An adinkra symbol. The Adinkra writing system is most associated with the Asante (often spelled Ashanti) people of Ghana. From their capital in Kumasi, the Asante people once ruled an empire covering most of modern-day Ghana. Notably, during the British effort to subdue the Asante Empire, the Emperor (Asantehene) was exiled. During that time, the men were demoralized. Queen Yaa Asantewa rose at that time to continue leading the people in the fight to maintain their independence.
