A stunning afternoon walk (Tuesday’s walk on Monday!) in the Cill na Martra area. A very welcome day for mid-winter and a good walk including some testing hills! Well done folks 👏. Winter Solstice walk up next on Sunday!
A Hidatsa woman named Waheenee, born around 1839, made it her mission to ensure her tribe''s ancient gardening techniques were never forgotten. Between 1907 and 1918, she shared her people''s deep knowledge of agriculture, cooking, and daily life with an ethnographer.
Her incredible wisdom was published in 1917 in a book called "Buffalo Bird Woman''s Garden," creating a permanent record of a fading way of life.
She wasn''t alone in this vital work of preservation.
Around the same time, an ethnologist named Frances Densmore traveled the United States with a wax cylinder phonograph.
Over several decades, she recorded over 2,000 songs from various tribes, preserving their musical heritage for all time.
Meanwhile, in Connecticut, a Mohegan woman named Gladys Tantaquidgeon dedicated her life to documenting traditional medicine and ancient healing practices.
Her detailed work not only preserved Mohegan culture but was instrumental in helping her tribe achieve federal recognition in 1994.
These women understood the importance of their heritage and worked tirelessly to create a bridge for future generations to connect with their past.
Thousands of people lined the streets of the Spanish city of Valladolid to pay tribute to Irish war hero Red Hugh O'Donnell. The Gaelic chieftain died in Spain in 1602 and last night Valladolid came to a standstill as Red Hugh's funeral was re-enacted
