Culture Series: Last Dance

The Culture Series celebrates the past as legacy, the present as contemporary expression, & the future as continued tradition as vibrant & expressive people groups share the essence of their culture. Every ethnicity has a story to tell. The treasure from a long unopened trunk, knowledge of the Creator, newly discovered artifacts in cave or trail, a baptismal gown passed down generation to generation, a precious & skillfully crafted arrowhead, perhaps oppression- all a heritage to treasure. Precious gifts from ages past to the future generations: where we came from to whom we have become. Glowing from the last embers of the evening festivities, elegant & colorful beadwork glimmer in the light; fringe sways exotically, & moccasins move rhythmically to the beat of of the drum. This timeless beadwork remains as a heritage, still colorful even in this Last Dance.
