Akan - Definition and Overview

The Akan are an ethnic group from western Africa. This group includes the Ashanti, the Fante and the Nzema peoples of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.

Some of their most important mythological stories are called Anansasem ("spider stories" also Nyankomsem "words of a sky god"). These stories generally, but not always, revolve around Kwaku Ananse, a trickster-spider spirit.

The highest god is Brekyirihunuade ("he who knows and sees everything").
