What Traditions Are You Keeping?

As we celebrate the contributions of rural and native women across the country at Rural Women Everywhere this Oct. 19 and 20th, we want to hear from you about your family and cultural traditions — and share those stories during the two-day virtual conference!

We all know that traditions establish the foundation for our values, they are a way to pass on our history, and help us bond with each other in our communities. 

So we ask:
What traditions are you practicing and helping to perpetuate?
Why is it important you?
How is your sense of identity and belonging tied to those traditions?
