| Global
economic development, and cultural tolerance are
interdependent characteristics of a healthy, peaceful
planet Earth. Technology and economic expansion
are rapidly absorbing the distance between borders
and bringing people and cultures together in both
conflict and common purpose. The diversity
of the human experience and condition is spread
across both geography and time.
Many
endangered native customs are struggling for survival
to avoid becoming solely the travel purpose for
professors of anthropology and National Geographic
specials. Understanding who and what we are is
more than understanding the languages we speak,
it means understanding our common and divergent
cultural histories, present conditions and orientations
toward the future.
LRO!'s
vision includes promoting language and cultural
awareness. To this end we have compiled
a listing of resources and grouped them into the
categories listed at the top of this page. (The
category titles are active links to a page listing
the specific resources of the chosen category).
