> .. the movement became synonymous with a place— Standing Rock— it could be said that its political energy was generated in large part by the landscape itself. In the words of a group of activists, “Standing Rock emerged as a ‘prayer camp’ because the grounds in question are sacred, a site of ceremony and ancestral knowledge.”

We ❤️ the concept of the #PowerOfPlace—the ability of place-based research to expand your #FamilyHistory horizons and enrich your understanding of your ancestors' lives.

On #OnePlaceWednesday here's a workshop on using #MyHeritage to tell the stories of buildings and places 🏡⛪️🏭🕍🏘️ which may be helpful to #genealogy and #OnePlaceStudy researchers.
