To hold on to one's roots in the face of
an opposing whirlwind of influences
and obstacles shows strength and
courage. The Navajo of the United
States, the Maasai of East Africa,
and the Aborigines of Australia
are examples of ethnic groups
that continue to practice
ancient and colorful tra-
ditions in the face of a
developing "western"
society. This site is de-
dicated to those who are
not afraid to destinguish
themselves from others.
