Excerpt
Dedication- What "Cultural Preservation- A Village Approach" Means

We are pleased to offer a guidebook which addresses a small variety of basic methods and means relating to cultural preservation. This guidebook would not have been possible if it were not for all of the people who so graciously contributed articles referring to their specific fields of knowledge and experience. Please see a detailed list of our contributors below. We gratefully dedicate this guide to all these people who shared their valuable knowledge and gave of their time to complete this project. They not only assisted us by sharing what they have learned, they also have lent a hand by helping to maintain and pass on our unique cultural heritage from generation to generation.

Hopefully, people will be able to use the information contained within. If this guidebook serves toward sparking motivation about different ways to newly begin a Village project or is helpful to existing Village cultural preservation projects, then this guidebook has served the purpose that it was intended.

We hope that you will enjoy reading this and that the contents will prove to be useful and informative. Perhaps, if there is enough interest, we may be able to add to this endeavor at a future time.
