Fascinated by the intricate weaving, the hunters spent weeks observing & learning the art of weaving. Proficient enough, they beat the bark of a "Kyenkyen" tree into fiber. These fibers gave birth to the first Kente Cloth. Kente Cloth originated with the Ashanti people of Ghana West Africa around the 12th century.
