AKONGUASUA (Ah-kohn'-gwah-soo-eeh'-ah) is the central institution of learning within Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi mu. AKONGUASUA is a combination of the Twi-Akan terms Akongua and sua. The term Akongua is a descriptive form of the term gua (adwa), both meaning seat, chair, throne. Sua means to learn, to study. Together, AKONGUASUA describes the nature of our institution being that of learning from the Ancestral seat.
In Akan culture the gua or akongua represents the shared cultural values and spirit of the nation. The heads of families, villages, towns, states and confederations enshrine their authority to guide and govern in the akongua upon which they sit. It ultimately becomes an Ancestral shrine, linking the members of the civilization to the Nananom Nsamanfo, the Honored Ancestresses and Ancestors. The akongua thereby avails us of the accumulated wisdom of over 1,000,000 generations of Earthly experience, and proper guidance for our lives rooted in that experience.
