Your culture - Part of who you are

Whether we are "American", "French", "Canadian", "Irish", "Brazilian" etc. whatever our national citizenship shows, our cultural origin may not reflect the "melting pot" ideology. Many of us are also of  Native,  Indigenous, or Aboriginal cultural origin.

Let's explore this, and see why it is important to know of our cultural heritage, and how to understand our origins.

Dramatic Influence New Zealand 

Brothers from around the world

A group of Maori youth came from around the world to speak to Native American youth about hot topics, and challenge us to Stay in School, Stay clean and sober, and Stay Free from drugs, alcohol, tobacco and violence. They present an impressive program with Maori traditional dance and singing, sign language, rap, skits, and hip-hop.

I saw them early in their tour of the US, Canada and Hawaii.

Polaroid - Towing that car home

Gratitude 

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

Chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal into a feast,

A house into a home,

A stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

Brings peace for today, and

Creates a vision for tomorrow.
