Exploring your cultural heritage.

 My racial descent is Ghanaian.My cultural heritage is a mix of different races because it is based on our shared ancestry,language and cultural traditions.

The first image talks about how we celebrate our festivals.It is when the people and the chief of the cultural race come together to witness how the celebration is being celebrated.The people of the cultural race dances while drummers and other instruments are being played during the celebration of the festival.The second and third images talks about how our cultural race dress.We wear traditional cloths to show the beauty of it and and these cloths are called "Kente" in our local dialect.The forth image shows how children are named.First of all,the child is being kept indoors for seven days(7) and on the seventh day, the child is brought outdoors and being given a name.The whole family organizes a place the are going to host the ceremony and the child is given to the elder or the head of both families.The then dips his index finger into a bowl with water an then lets a drop of water falls into the child's mouth,he does this three times and then dips his index finger into a bowl with alcohol and then allows a drop of it falls into the child's mouth(he also does it three times).After doing that,he raises the child into the sky and tells the gods to bless the child and also ask the gods to let the child know the difference between good and evil and also always speak the truth.The fifth image talks about our local dishes.I chose this because it differentiates the type of food we have from other cultural races.These symbolically represents me to my family because I can speak the language and also was brought up the same way they were also brought up.
