Honoring Our Ancestors

>> In this day of social media, it’s easy to lose touch

with who we really are and the human connection.

We are descendants of people who made

sacrifices so that we could live a better life.

Let's keep their memory alive and share

our heritage, especially with the children. 

"Honoring Our Ancestors" is a celebration of continued life

and recognizing the importance of family heritage.  

This gathering will be a festive time of sharing, drumming

and dancing - all to honor our ancestors.

 

We believe to honor the ancestors is to recognize

our lineage, culture, roots and ourselves. <<
