Quotes 

• Olmec : One of the greatest African leaders in the 1600s was the queen of the Ndongo tribe, Nzinga. When she was young, her brother sent her to make a treaty with the Portuguese governor in Luanda, the capital of modern-day Angola. "Be strong," he said, "because the Portuguese are treacherous."/When she arrived, the governor on his throne waited for her to speak. "Do you not offer me a place to sit?" Asked Nzinga./"That is for equals," said the governor. "You are not my equal."/"I am an emissary of the king of Ndongo, and I *am* your equal." Nzinga clapped her hands, and one of her attendants knelt down on all fours. She sat on his back and proposed a treaty. By the end of her visit, they made the treaty on her terms. When her brother died, Nzinga became queen. And for over thirty years, she kept her people free. Legend has it that her grateful subjects treasured her crown long after she died. Your quest is to find the crown of Queen Nzinga and bring it back here.
