What does the word heritage mean to you? In can mean different things to different people. Essentially, heritage can refer to anything inherited from the past.
In my mind, heritage is our ancestral culture. Our connection to our ancestors and our past. The traditions that are passed down with each generation. The language of our great grandparents and our distant relatives today.
Today, I would like to step away from my usual focus on science to share with you some of my favorite Pinterest Boards for exploring cultural heritage. Amongst these diverse boards, it is my hope that you will find activities, lesson plans, and a wealth of resources to help bring your own ancestry to life.
