@dangmepeople: DANGME FESTIVALS SEASON 2026: AYIKUMA NGMAYEM FESTIVAL BY THE FIRESIDE In the video, an elder narrates the migration history of the Dangme people. According to his account, the historical and oral narrative of Dangme migration stretches from Israel to their eventual settlement in present-day Ghana. Tonight in Ayikuma, within the Dangme Traditional Area of Sɛ (Shai), the community gathered for By the Fireside, an event dedicated to storytelling, cultural education and the preservation of history. Around the fire, elders share stories about Ayikuma, other divisions and towns within Sɛ (Shai), and the wider Dangme people. Through these accounts, ancestral memories are preserved, the younger generation learns about its heritage, and the cultural identity of the people is passed on. By the Fireside is more than a gathering around a fire. It provides an opportunity for elders to share knowledge, history and traditions with younger generations, ensuring that these stories continue to be heard and remembered. This is the beauty of the Dangme Festivals Season 2026: celebrating our heritage, preserving our traditions and keeping our cultural identity alive. Our stories deserve to be heard, documented and passed on to future generations. #DangmeFestivalsSeason2026 #AyikumaNgmayemFestival #ByTheFireside #Ayikuma #Sɛ
