Part 1: Talent, Tradition, and Community

Traditional arts are the expression of a community’s beliefs, values, and customs, all of which are influenced by that community’s location, history, language, religion, and other unique circumstances. Examples may include basketry, recipes, styles of music or dance, and festivals.
