Your lineage holds potent medicine

Many of the world’s population, including the majority of North American residents, live outside their ancestors’ traditional homelands.

This dispersion often brings with it a sense of ancestral cultural separation.

With this separation comes disorientation from land, language, and tradition. And, assimilation into modern cultures based on capitalism and materialism.

But we do not need to resign ourselves to this assimilation.
We can study the past to inform our way forward.

Humans have always stored their lessons and medicines in stories and songs, and every culture has a thread in this tapestry.

What is yours?
