Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about carrying heritage into the future.

What is Sankofa and how does it relate to Afrofuturism?

Sankofa is a studio platform that carries ancestral wisdom into the future through celestial design principles. Inspired by Afrofuturism's vision of Black futures rooted in lineage and craft, we build tools where heritage isn't preserved—it propels.

How does the Ancestral Archive protect cultural intellectual property?

Our archive uses blockchain-based attribution to ensure every stored item—whether oral history, recipe, or craft technique—credits its originators. Access controls let communities govern who can view or derive works from their heritage.

Can I use Sankofa for commercial projects?

Yes. All tiers include commercial licenses for derivatives created using our tools. The Golden Loom specifically generates designs with clear attribution layers, letting you honor sources while building commercially viable products.

What makes Orbital Sync different from regular calendars?

Orbital Sync integrates traditional agricultural and lunar cycles with Gregorian dates, letting teams schedule around both market days and ancestral observances. It visualizes time as concentric orbits rather than linear grids.

Is my data stored securely and privately?

All data is encrypted client-side before transmission. We use decentralized storage (IPFS/Filecoin) with optional private pinning. No ancestral data is ever used for AI training without explicit, revocable consent.
