Wayanda Rock Shelter, Little Taysha Rock Shelter & The Meadowland’s. My family and I vow to promote protection through monitoring, education, research, and public awareness to ensure that one of Kentucky's significant Native American sites will be preserved and protected for future generations. Our goal is to educate the community about ‘The Great One’ aka Jesus Christ, Cultural Heritage Conservation & Economical Self Sustainable Living. We offer Fellowship, Visual & Hands on Educational Exercises & Exhibits to provoke a passion for learning about cultural customs, beliefs, rites, rituals, ceremonies, indigenous knowledge, arts, crafts, music, beliefs, behavior, history, practices concerning the natural environment, religious and scientific traditions, language, sports, food and drink, calendars, clothing, and emerging new cultures which will become the heritage of the future. Encouraging cultural heritage traditions and diversity creates a rich and varied world, which nurtures human capacities and values, and therefore is a mainspring for sustainable development for communities, peoples and nations.
