To the descendants.
Years will pass and many things will disappear into oblivion. But the memory of the earth remains, and we believe in it! We have tried and are still trying to preserve the language, traditions, and customs of our people!
Someone writes books, scientific papers, poetry, and music, while someone speaks to an audience promoting our culture. It remains for little!
This is your support for everything that has been accumulated.
The memory of the earth, nature, will want to communicate with you! Go meet her!
Do not interrupt the age-old thread of our ancestors!
