Pauwau Starts a Community's Heritage Recognition and Celebration
History has a way of fusing differences into a singular entity as a means of unifying a place for a more general understanding.  As histories are shared among generations and shaped from the current understandings, misrepresentations become accepted facts and accurate knowledge becomes lost.  It is up to the decedents of indigenous peoples to keep their heritage alive and to educate the contemporary citizens about their true ancestry and growth as a people and state.
