Métis Fiddle and Sash - Métis citizens are known for their lively celebrations with fiddle music. 4.

Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Bridging the Past and Future Embracing the essence of African traditions, it is essential to conserve cultural heritage to maintain the authenticity of one's identity. By learning about the tales of our ancestors and honoring their legacies, we establish a profound connection to our roots and heritage. This journey of self-discovery and inspiration allows us to bring our cultural identity to life, embodying it in our daily lives with bravery and resilience. By advocating for the preservation of cultural ideas and traditions, we bridge the gap between generations, fostering a sense of belonging and unity that transcends time.

Saint Paulinus of Bordeaux, also known as Saint Paulinus of Nola, exemplifies leadership, sacrifice, and community spirit - values that resonate strongly within both religious and professional spheres. Born in 354 AD in Bordeaux, he eventually became the beloved bishop of Nola, Italy. In a remarkable act of self-sacrifice during barbarian invasions, Paulinus offered himself in exchange for a widow’s son who had been taken captive. This selfless act not only secured the young man's freedom but also led to the release of many other prisoners, demonstrating the power of compassionate leadership. Today, the legacy of Saint Paulinus is celebrated through the ancient Festa dei Gigli (Festival of the Lilies) in Nola (nearby to Naples, south of Italy), a tradition spanning over a thousand years. This festival is a profound expression of community unity and dedication. Towering wooden structures called "gigli" (lilies), adorned with flowers and religious icons, are carried through the streets on the shoulders of local men. These displays of collective effort and reverence symbolize the community’s enduring commitment to their shared values. The Festa dei Gigli teaches us about the strength of a unified community working towards a common goal, a principle that is equally applicable in the business world. Just as the people of Nola come together to celebrate and honor their heritage, organizations can foster a strong, cohesive culture by embracing values of sacrifice, leadership, and unity. These values not only bind a community but also drive organizational success and resilience. https://lnkd.in/dhJC3ZbV

I'm looking forward to the day France, or any Western country for that matter, all of which are completely in the grips of propagandised (and only therefore useful) idiots, puppets of the rent-seeking elites, a.k.a. woke leftists, and the International Olympic Committee are courageous enough to make mockery out of the Prophet Muhammad, in a show by Drag Queens. #DragQueensEntertainingTheProphetForGaza 👌 All in light of the clearly so desperately needed and therefore deliberate provocations & polarisation of society, as part of the choice made over a decade ago, to propagandise & polarise the sheeple with identity politics & wokeism in order to distract from failing to resolve the real issues (and which are in fact only made worse by the mediocre puppets manoeuvred into positions of power) the sheeple are facing in a failing Western Ponzi. #DistractByDivisionAndRule And all this, only pretending to be striving for inclusivity & equity whilst actually pushing for the exact opposite, namely an ever faster increase of societal divide, not least via the acceleration of the transfer of wealth from poor to rich, (a) through excessive monetary expansion, (b) by pushing out of the supply-curve of (low-skilled) labour via mass (illegal) immigration, and via (c) deliberate provocation of totally avoidable (proxy) wars with Russia & China. Because idealism always sells, even if it is completely false ! The idealism of every age has long become the cover story of its theft ! #IdealismAsCoverStoryForEvil And all this, only in order to be able to continue to serve embedded growth obligations at the very top of the Ponzi, but at the cost of the sheeple, given the complete lack of true (as opposed to artificial, i.e. monetary expansion driven) growth overall, and in order to delay the unavoidable collapse of Western unipolar hegemony and its Ponzi. But if Drag Queens won't "entertain" the Prophet for Gaza, someone on 𝕏 might actually do it for them ! How lucky the woke leftists are, able to continue to falsely blame 𝕏 for social unrest, riots and (future) civil wars, as they so much like to do. It might even be highly instrumental to further suppress the truth, via the UK Online Safety Act & EU Digital Services Act, to censor 𝕏, Rumble and other non-woke social media platforms, whereas those riots are actually all caused by our institutions, which have long been taken hostage and have long lost their honest positions ! Because the Ponzi can handle everything, except for the truth ! So yes, I'm very much looking forward to the Closing Ceremony of the Olympics, particularly on 𝕏. #JeSuisParis 🥳 #Xmen #SayNoToFalseIdealismAsCoverForEvil #SayNoToDiversityEquityAndInclusionToBoostDivision #SayNoToIdentityPoliticsAndPolarisation #SayNoToAFascistWesternDictatorshipByTheWokeLeft #DefendingFreedomOfSpeechAndInformationGathering #DefendingTruth #FckTheUKOnlineSafetyAct #FckTheEUDigitalServicesAct #FckThierryBreton #TrueDemocratsSupportTrumpVance2024

"Preserving our cultural heritage is essential. As George Lucas wisely said, 'People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians.' Let's stand together to protect and honor the beauty and history that shapes our world. 🌍🎨 Deep dive on this quote from my latest blog episode using this link: https://lnkd.in/gRpyrjEC #CulturalHeritage #ArtPreservation #GeorgeLucas #ProtectOurHistory"
