tradition bearers

Tradition bearers are individuals or groups who carry and preserve cultural, historical, or community practices, stories, and knowledge. They act as stewards of their heritage, ensuring that important customs, beliefs, and skills are passed down across generations. This continuity helps maintain a community’s identity, values, and history. Examples include elder storytellers, artisans, religious leaders, or educators who uphold and transmit these traditions through their actions and teachings, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity within their culture.
