@elorm_alek: Tamale, November 1961. Chiefs from across the north gather at what's now the city's Jubilee Park, warriors performing what's called the End of the Harvest dance in front of the Queen and Prince Philip. It drew real people, not just staged extras, locals later recalled running miles through the forest just to catch sight of the plane landing, since most households in the region couldn't even afford the radio fee to hear the news in advance. But underneath the dancing, there's real tension the cameras don't show you. The north still held onto its traditional chieftaincy structures more fiercely than the south, and by 1961, resentment against Nkrumah was already building there, specifically because his government had been steadily stripping chiefs of their old authority. So this durbar wasn't just colorful spectacle for a visiting queen. It was one of the few moments the north's traditional rulers got to publicly matter again, on a stage even Nkrumah couldn't ignore.
