HISTORY

We have owned and occupied our territory for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence dates our existence as long ago as 4,500 years, but our historical memory says that we have been here since time immemorial.

While we have evolved into a modern society, many of our cultural practices and traditions have been carried on for generations, and are still woven into our culture today.
