Culture is something that we should celebrate and honor.  In this video, Bernard Pearce discusses how, over time, we might co-opt an area with our culture and leave out people who are an important part of the collective culture and just as relevant to some of the products of that collective culture.  Bernard is a born resident of Saint Martin Parish in South Louisiana.  He has been a music venue owner and a chief cook on sailing vessels.  He's a poet, musician, artist, and historian.  In this video, Bernard discusses issues of geographical appropriation in South Louisiana.  How can we be more inclusive? How can we celebrate together?  What does this mean for the environments we live in. Maybe if everyone feels included we can be better and working together to do great things.
