Herstory Resources

INDEX • Herstory • History • Jesus • Law • Magdalena

Herstory is the missing story written from the perspective of the feminine and native cultures often overlooked by the written record.

Vision Statement and Purpose:

History and "Herstory" does not repeat itself, but ignorance of our ancestral story does. If we do not learn from both our "history" and "herstory" we are condemned to repeat this until we learn the lessons of time. May we not repeat the mistakes of the past. If you don't like history as its told, go out and make some of your own!

"If we don't change our direction, we're likely to end up where we're headed." - Old Proverb

Our story reveals the mindset of our ancestors and teaches us universal principles. All sides of our ancestral and immortal story must be considered, both the written and the unwritten word, gestures and the entire dance of humanity throughout time.

Let us respect the stories of what came before. Let us pay honor to all our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers, our parents, our founding fathers and mothers, men and women from all the ages who have passed their wisdom down to us.

"The ways of your ancestors are good. They cannot be blown away by the winds, because their roots reach deep into the soil." – Okot P'Bitek

Textbook history is written by the victors in war, thus always one-sided, biased and prejudiced. Be aware each generation in power rewrites history with their own pen to favor their own political position.

In the infamous words of George Orwell, "Those who controls the past, controls the future."
