New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| A heritage or ancestral bowl is a Native Pueblo symbol of family, tribe, community, and humanity all contained within the vessel of Mother Earth. Honor this cultural heritage of diversity today by creating your own heritage magic. In a small wooden, silver, or copper bowl, place dried wild rice to represent the ancient peoples of our continent, beans and oats to represent our colonial ancestors, and dried nuts, peppers, and fruits to represent our own generation and time. This heritage bowl is evocative of the wealth and bounty we evoke when all of our family, tribal, and community members feel that diverse opinions and cultures are celebrated with honor and curiosity.
Display this bowl on your family mantel or ancestor altar, in honor of the courage and optimism inspired by Central American culture throughout our modern history. Mexican mariachi music, dancing, feasting, parties, and parades are the exciting ways we honor this heritage of diversity today. Commemorate this path to peace as you assemble your own heritage bowl. |
