Cultural History: Learning at Home

What are the lasting traditions of your family’s cultural history? It’s time to explore your family’s roots, where you’ve come from, and where you’re going! How much do you know about your family’s background? Do some family research that incorporates biological, cultural, and ethnic characteristics. Interview family members to discover your roots. You never know what may surprise you!

Are legacies written in stone? Can they be re-written? Who writes them anyway?

There is honour in sacrifice. There is a reason we have holidays that remind us to look back and remember the ones who gave their all to advance us to where we are today, whether they are memorialized or not. We owe it to the people and generations before us who demonstrated the meaning of courage and bravery, just like future people and generations will do for us.

A remarkable chapter of our human history is being written as you read this. What is your role in it? How will you remember this time? What legacy will you – will we – leave behind?
