Worship What You Find in Your Life

My community's traditions are everything to us. We celebrate different festivals throughout the year, sing traditional songs, and practice customs that are deeply woven into our daily lives. It's not just rituals; it's who we are. As I've shared, "I really like our community's traditions, customs, food, worship, and lifestyle." Our connection to the land and local resources is fundamental. We worship the entire creation, not just specific gods, but whatever we find in our lives. This means valuing everything around us, from the specific plants in our forest, like the Katula roots that sustained us, to the crab that is part of our tradition, customs, food, and social life. This deep connection gives us pride and resilience. Our mud houses are not just shelter; they "are the fundamental identity and pride of our community." We don't rely on things like the internet, because as Surajsingh Parmar notes, "the internet doesn't work at our place." Instead, we find strength in what is inherently ours—our community and our lived experience.
