Cultural Supports
Culture is connection to everything.
Connection to who we are. Connection to our roots. Connection to language. Connection to our ancestors. Connection to community.
Culture is the corner foundation of spirituality.
Culture preserves the teachings of our ancestors and connects us to Mother Earth.
Culture is one of the special gifts we receive to feed our souls, healing to undo trauma and recharge our spirits.
