Yaa Asantewaa's Exile: The Seychelles Years of an Asante Warrior Queen

After the 1900 War of the Golden Stool, Asante Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa and other leaders were exiled by the British to the Seychelles. This episode follows her final years in the Indian Ocean, exploring daily life in the Seychelles exile community, her death in 1921, and the long road that brought her remains home in 2009. We also touch on the broader Asante diaspora in exile, from the Seychelles to the Canary Islands. Along the way, we visit the Cape Coast Castle dungeons, the Aborigines' Rights Protection Society's efforts, and the symbolic power of the Golden Stool. A story of resilience, memory, and the quiet dignity of a queen in exile. #YaaAsantewaa #Asante #GoldenStool #Seychelles #Exile #QueenMother #1900Uprising #BritishEmpire #GoldCoast #GhanaHistory #FexingoHistory #WestAfrica #AsanteWar #ColonialHistory #Repatriation #CapeCoastCastle #WarriorQueen #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
