The Ewe-Kituwah International Tribal Nation proudly announces the forthcoming coronation ceremony of Her Majesty Mama Wuga and Mama Adzagba, a momentous event celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Ewe-Kituwah people and their enduring legacy.
According to Rev. Dr. Betty Jones Smith, President of the Ewe-Kituwah International Tribal Nation, this historic occasion is not only a tribute to the resilience of the Ewe people but also a reflection of the deep cultural ties between Bermuda and the Ewe-Kituwah Tribal Nation.
Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future
The Ewe-Kituwah people trace their ancestral roots to the Ewe Kingdom, an influential empire that thrived between the 13th and 19th centuries in what is now southern Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.
During the transatlantic slave trade, many Ewe ancestors were forcibly brought to Bermuda, where they faced immense hardships. Despite these challenges, they managed to preserve their customs, traditions, and values, which continue to thrive today.
The coronation ceremony is a powerful testament to the strength and perseverance of the Ewe-Kituwah people, shedding light on a history that has long been overlooked.
Event Details and Cultural Significance
The coronation ceremony is proposed to take place on March 6, 2025, at Fort Hamilton, Bermuda. The celebration will feature a night vigil, a torchlight procession, and traditional cultural performances, creating an atmosphere of unity and reverence for the ancestors.
The event is expected to bring together dignitaries, community leaders, and members of the Ewe-Kituwah tribe from Bermuda, Ghana, and the United States, reinforcing the global connections of the Ewe people.
