	Welcome to the Republic of Ghana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Ewe people live around the Volta delta area of south eastern Ghana and across the international border in Togo.
		Ewe weavers utilise an almost identical form of the narrow-strip loom to that of the Asante, and there is considerable evidence to suggest mutual influence between the weavers of the two traditions, as might be expected from the long history of contacts, both through trade and conquest between their peoples.
		Ewe weavers also produced more simple but still striking cloths using just indigo blue and white stripes and checks, perhaps the legacy of older weaving styles practised before they came into contact with the Asante.

	SHEEP PRODUCTION WITHOUT THE WOOL ACT
		The question many producers are asking at this time is "How can the dollars returned per ewe be increased in the future to offset the impact of the wool act funding phaseout?" Clearly the simplest solution to some would be to wait for a dramatic increase in the prices received for lamb and wool.
		However, this may entail significant changes in the flock such as purchasing ewes with higher wool quality (finer wool) or through selection of ewes and rams which combine to produce a finer wool grade.
		Using the ewe productivity described earlier where a ewe weans 1.2 lambs weighing 80 lb, the feeder lamb market price would have to be increased by roughly $.15 per pound ($14.00/96 lb of live weaned lamb) to cover the shortfall.

		With the 1990 democracy movement, Eyadema and his collaborates tried to paint and make people believe that the problem was a conflict between the Ewe of the South and the Kabye of the North or the North against the South when in fact it wasn’t like that.
		They tried to convince people falsely that the first president of Togo Sylvanus Olympio (who is Ewe) never cared about people from the North or the kabye and was only going to develop the South and if it wasn’t for him Eyadema who came in power the kabye would have been screwed forever.
		We should know that Eyadema’s or his son’s dictatorship is hurting all Togo people not just the EWE or people form the South but also the kabye, the soldiers and who are underpaid and every Togolese.Leaders of the RPT regime is just using the ethnic or political tension to stay in power and get richer.

	November-2006 Mission Yearbook
		The EPCG was initially the Ewe Church of Ghana, but it changed in 1927 when it became the Ewe Presbyterian Church and again in 1954 when the church began expanding beyond Eweland, or beyond the Ewe people group.
		People come almost every day, but on Friday there is a specific service for healing and deliverance, so many more come then.
		By devoting a day in the Centre when people can be ministered to and receive and be in prayer, the EPCG is addressing a huge need in their communities, but with a theology that is true to the Word of God and the person of Jesus Christ who enters into pain and suffering.

		Ewe personhood is a travel narrative." The Ewe people lifestyle, material production and familial reproduction are all contingent on regular mobility but irregular movement; from town to town, village to village, and from colonial anathema (a.k.a.
		Moreover, her compelling analysis of Ewe slave-spirit possession guides the reader to the very un-Western possibility that, upon this cultural continuity in the form of celebrating slave ancestors, is dependent Ewe "individuation and individuality".
		Drawing on de Surgy, she claims Ewe individuation is more personal and unique than Western individualism, "yet never whole or completely separated from other persons, spirits and times" - pulling constantly on the spirits and community memories of those whose lives were framed by mobility and migration.
