Why are people desperately trying to claim the origin of something they know very well did not start with them? What does “Kente” mean in Akan (Twi/Ashanti/Fante/Akwapen or any of the related dialects)? The empty barrel makes the most noise…that simply is the frustration of those who are struggling to claim or assigned the origin of Kete/Kente to the Ashantis? It is so childish to even consider such statements as “…observing a spider weaving its spider web…” They even can name the first person who “claim” to of carried out such an observation. Funny they indicate this happen in “17th Century AD” when the Ewe have long been weaving their crafts together with their Fon and other kins.
