Audience with the Paramount Chief

Part 1

One of the most exciting things we have experienced so far was an audience with Paramount Chief in the Odumase region. ( big mountain)

This was obviously an honor not afforded to many visitors. Dr Narh is an important man who comes from this area and arranged the meeting.

We were escorted to the small and humble palace to meet the Chief. There were linguist, bodyguard, and three elders. Finally the chief was escorted in and sat on a carved wooden throne. He was educated in the States and worked at a University.

He is Chief by his bloodlines. His great great great father was Chief and so on. He said this was either good or bad. :)

He spoke of the economic growth of the region by making beads and hope to make it the bead capital of the world.
