In Ghana the word Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, "Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten." The women artisans have gone back to both cultural beading traditions as well as the use of recycled materials to make their goods.
