What does it mean to be a “Smith,” a “Brown,” a “Johnson,” or a “Jones?” What does your family name mean to you or to your children? What does their name mean in relation to who they are and how they live their lives? What does it mean to be American,
Canadian, Asian, Latin
or European?
Perhaps more significantly, what does it mean to be a human being? Heritage through story answers these questions. Writing and reading that story is what gives heritage “roots” and the writers and readers a “compass” for living.
We spend our lives creating and living from the context of our heritage. Heritage is the basis of our culture.
