Sankofa is a symbol of remembering and learning from the past. The bird is looking toward its back which is representative of seeing its own past. 
This is one of the first Adinkra Symbols I illustrated, it has been very popular.
The Sankofa Adinkra symbol is represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards with an egg, some say seed in its mouth (symbolizing the future), while its body faces forward.
The word "Sankofa" is derived from the words san (return), ko (go), fa (look, seek and take).
