Denkyira Reconnect Tour

The Denkyira Reconnect Tour is an inspiring initiative by the Denkyira Heritage Foundation aimed at reuniting the descendants of the great Denkyira Kingdom who were scattered across West Africa during the royal battle in 1695 between Nana Ntim Gyakari and Assenso Kuffuor. This conflict arose over the occupancy of the Bankam Dwa following the death of Denkyira King Odeefuo Boa-Amponsem I in 1692. As a result, many Denkyiras migrated to Nkawie, and later, Nana Agyeibi led many others to what is now the Atwima Nwabiagya, Mponua, and Kwanwoma Districts. These series of events culminated in the historic Feyaise Battle in 1701, leading to the dispersal of many Denkyiras who have since lost touch with their ancestral roots, culture, and heritage.

 

The need for this reconnection is more pressing than ever. By uniting all Denkyiras, both within Ghana and in the diaspora, we can foster a renewed sense of identity, belonging, and cultural pride. This tour is more than just a journey; it is a profound experience designed to bridge the gap between the past and the present, rekindling the flames of Denkyira’s glorious history and restoring the greatness of the kingdom.

Join us on the Denkyira Reconnect Tour as we embark on a journey of rediscovery, cultural celebration, and unity. Let us come together to honor our ancestors, embrace our shared heritage, and build a stronger, more connected future for all people of Denkyira descent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Denkyira Reconnect Tour limited to Ghana?
No! It is a programme aimed at Denkyiras scattered throughout the world especially West Africa. Some might be speaking languages different from Denkyira Twi due to the influence of people they lived with. However, they are Denkyiras once their ancestors migrated from Denkyira.
Will the diaspora Denkyiras relocate to modern geographic location of Denkyira?
No! They will remain where they are! However, those who want to relocate can do so. However, all Denkyiras will meet during the annual Odwira Festival of Denkyira that was passed down to other Akans. Denkyira initiated the Odwira Festival in 1500s.
Is the Reconnect Tour aimed at bringing other kingdoms down?
No! Our aim is not to create divisions but to strengthen the bonds between our various kingdoms, working together for economic growth, social development, tourism, and cultural preservation. By uniting, we can uplift our communities and showcase the richness of our heritage to the world, contributing to the overall prosperity of Ghana. We are one country and one people, united by a common national identity. Every activity of the Denkyira Heritage Foundation is geared towards the unity and prosperity of Denkyira and Ghana as a whole.
