Three aspects of indigenous Culture/Community that prepare you to be successful and lead a meaningful life are songs, ceremony, and ancestors. I picked each of those because songs can motivate you to do magnificent things you may or may not know you can do. Ceremony is important because its a daily reminder to be grateful for everything you have because you might not wake up tomorrow. It sounds morbid, I know, but its true. Ancestors are the most important thing that prepare me for everything because it reminds me every day for all that they’ve done to put me on this earth today. I have all of those to be grateful for and help me prepare me for everything. It prepares me to give back to my community because I have all that to be grateful for and I would love to give it back. Return the favor for all they’ve done for me.
