The Louisiana Folklife Center at Northwestern State University, with funding from the Delta Initiative of the National Park Service, will hold a symposium on culture change and continuity in the Mississippi Delta Region on August 19, 20, and 21.

Sharing Shores will be part of a panel that discusses what has changed, is changing, and what efforts, individual or group, are being made to preserve traditional culture. 

Participating in the symposium are community members, anthropologists, and folklorists who have worked in or are working with your community. We will all take this opportunity to share our various perspectives with each other.

Louisiana is a microcosm of the larger Delta and your contributions to its culture and that of the whole region are appreciated.  Hopefully at the end of the symposium we can come up with a collective overview of our situations, as well as our solutions and directions to work together productively in the future.
