Gundonaa Hajia Samata Abudu is the Paramount woman Chief of the Dagbon traditional area in the Northern Region of Ghana. All women Chiefs in that area are subordinate to her. She heads the Gundogu skin, the female equivalent of the Yendi skin, which is headed by the Yaa-Naa. The Gundonaa is the only Chief, be it male or female, who is able to veto the Yaa-Naa's word.

Last year, Mothertongue contributed to the editing of the novel INFINITE ROOTS by Mary Bodomo.

This autobiographical novel follows the multi-generational story of a Ghanaian military family, composed through the eyes of a young daughter learning about her history and culture through the many stories of her parents and elders. This autobiographical novel spreads out across 1960s to 1980s Ghana as the military family journeys from Wa to Tamale to Accra to Kumasi to Takoradi to Ho and more. As the young girl grows, she also begins to share her own re-tellings as her elders once did.

A rich archive of Dagaare language and culture, as well as Ghanaian history!

Editing this novel taught me uncountable details of local Dagaare language and culture, as well as Ghanaian history in those days. It is an immense treasure to have this rich archive of our culture.

Can't wait for you to read it.
