YENNENGA // PRINCESS OF THE KINGDOM OF DAGBON
“She was a legendary princess, considered the mother of the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. She was a famous warrior precious to her father, Naa Gbewaa, the founder of the Kingdom of Dagbon. The princess aspired to another destiny and left the kingdom. On the run with her horse, she met a young hunter, Riale, with whom she had a child called Ouedraogo (which became a famous last name in Burkina Faso to horse that led the princess to Riale). Yennenga and her son are considered the founder of the Mossi Kingdoms.”

Yennenga Burkina Faso, Mossi Legend
The Six of Wands represents victory and success. A warrior princess, Yennenga is her father's most prized fighter. Her skill is so great he never wishes to part with her, but she rebels. She seeks her own path and recognition for her deeds.Â
Upright: Victory, praise, achievement, reward, fame Reversed: Ego, pride, disrepute, a fall from grace
“Gianna Watson as Yennenga: Tree from which the Mossi nation grew” After months of preparation I am pleased to announce #thefoundersproject. The Founders Project is a multimedia installation project headed by Boston based artist and educator Stephen Hamilton. The project re-imagines Boston Public School High-School students as the legendary founders of the West and West-Central African ethnic groups, that are part of the ancestral base for the African diaspora. The pieces will incorporate painting, weaving and sculpture traditions from each of the spotlighted ethnic groups and is to be installed in a yet to be determined public space in Boston. The project will contribute to a larger syllabus on West African cultural continuity in the African Diaspora designed for High School students.

“Yennenga, tree from which the Mossi people grew” Yennenga was the daughter of Madega the legendary 12th century ruler of the kingdom of Dagbon in what is now northern Ghana. A powerful warrior in her own right, Yennenga lead soldiers into battle at the age of only 14. Matchless with the bow and spear, she was a legendary horsewoman who won many battles in her father’s name. When she came of age and expressed the desire to marry, her father refused. In protest, she planted and entire crop of Okra and let it rot in the field to show how she felt her life was withering away and her time to start her own family was passing her by. Her father was unmoved, so she escaped her father’s compound disguised as a man. Upon leaving her father’s kingdom she met a young Malinke prince and elephant hunter named Riale. They fell in love and had a son Ouedraogo, who became the first Mogho Naba (king) of the Mossi empire. Though Ouedraogo was the their first king the Mossi credit Yennenga as the founder of their nation and the royal horseman of Mossiland, to this day still carry her legacy forward.

“And since then has the Sun King understood That a girl is not just made To look good And make children And make food That a girl is also made To look good And ride horses And make conquests And since then has the queen mother also understood That a girl is not just made To look good And wash the dishes And make love That a girl is also made To look good And do the business And make war.”
