Sankofa
Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of the Akan people of Ghana that means "go back and get it". It is symbolized by a bird with its feet facing forward and its head looking back. The Spirit of Sankofa encompasses taking from the past what is good and bringing it into the present to make progress in the future.
