Photo of an older white woman with white hair and glasses, her wrinkled face smiling as she received a hug from a small girl with pigtails. The blonde toddler has her arms wrapped around the older woman’s neck, and the girl’s face is smiling, with eyes closed, and lips close to the older woman’s cheek. The background of the photo is dark, and both people are lit by a bright light, like the sun coming through a window. They both look happy.

The young ones regularly gathered with the Elders. They would play and laugh, bringing youthful joy to the Elders.

The Elders would share their stories, teach their wisdom, and play games almost forgotten.

Much from the past can enlighten us now, and help us build a brighter future — for all.
